There has been an amazing response the appeal this year, which aims to ensure every disadvantaged youngster in Leicestershire has a present to open on Christmas Day when they otherside would not, with hundreds of brand new toys donated since it was launched two weeks ago.
Inspector Siobhán Gorman, neighbourhood policing commander for Harborough and Wigston, told Hfm they wanted to do something to help the community at Christmas, to say thanks for the support they have received in recent months.
