THE new Wellington branch of RGB Plumbing & Heating is asking customers and members of the local community to donate gifts to its Christmas Present Appeal in aid of Children’s Hospice South West.

A gift suitable for a child of any age or their parents can be placed under the Christmas tree in the Wellington branch until Monday, December 12.

At the end of the appeal, Children’s Hospice South West will distribute the presents to the children and families it supports, in time to be enjoyed over the festive period.

The hospice provides care for children with life-limiting conditions and their families across the South-West. The care offered ranges from respite and short breaks, to emergency and end of life care.

Paul Fleming, RGB Wellington branch manager, said: “I’m confident that our customers and the local community will get behind our appeal and, in advance, I would like to thank everyone for their donations.”

RGB asks that presents are donated unwrapped to ensure they are age appropriate for the recipient.
