Generous - Essex County Fire and Rescue Service staff and public with Christmas hampers ready
BIG-HEARTED donors have raised more than £7,000 to go towards Christmas hampers to help poor families across north Essex.
Essex County Fire and Rescue Service is appealing for donations to create more than 120 hampers to deliver in the region.
Led by Les Nicoll, Community Builder at Essex County Fire and Rescue Service and his charity North Essex Support Team, the service will deliver hampers containing food, toys and treats for tots and pots and pans.
An initial goal of £2,500 was set on the JustGiving page but they have now raised more than £7,000 with donations still coming in.
