Ashley Caisley, team member at the Barbers, said: ‘We are trying to collect new presents for children who are not as lucky as most. Christmas is all about giving and we believe all children deserve something to open Christmas day.
‘The spotlight children toy drive does an amazing job in helping children from less fortunate positions to receive something special from father Christmas.’

Spotlight UK supports children and young people to reach their full potential, and they offer family support services, care packages, classes to help with confidence and much more.

Ashley added: ‘Christmas is that time of year to spread some joy to everyone.’
