As we celebrate the festive season and New Year, disability charity Papworth Trust has come up with a novel and easy way to make a real difference to the lives of disabled people.

On Christmas morning when you are opening your presents, give a thought to Papworth Trust. All they want for Christmas is your unwanted Christmas presents.

When you open the third copy of your favourite DVD or that jumper is just not your style, instead of queuing to exchange, you can donate it to Papworth Trust.

At the beginning of January the Trust will be having an eBay sale with all unwanted Christmas presents. All the proceeds will go to support their award winning work with disabled people to have equality, choice and independence.

All unwanted gifts can be dropped off at either Papworth Trust’s Centre in Cambridge of Head Office in Papworth. If you would like to donate an unwanted gift, drop it off to either location after 4 January. If your gift is too large then call 01480 357200 to arrange collection.
