RGB Building Supplies is thanking people in Wellington for donating gifts to its 2017 Christmas present appeal.

All presents have now been given to Children’s Hospice South West to pass on to the children and families it supports.

More than 300 gifts were placed under Christmas trees in RGB branches following a call out inviting customers and the local community to donate gifts suitable for a child of any age or their parents.

Children’s Hospice South West is RGB’s chosen charity and the builder’s merchant has been holding a number of fundraising events throughout 2017.

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