THE first Elmet Lions Christmas Toy Appeal received a good response, with about 150 toys and games donated, which will be distributed to needy families and children in the area.
The appeal was backed by Tadcaster Salvation Army, who will deliver the toys in Tadcaster, Sherburn and Church Fenton.
Lions president Ann Hudson said: “We would like to thank various organisations for their help, including British Gypsum for their donation of £200, the public for their support, and the Spar in Sherburn for allowing us to use their store as a drop off point.”
