When Debbie Hasler started the Dunmow and Surrounding Areas Pay It Forward group on Facebook in March, she had no idea it would become such a success.
The group, set up to provide food for those who needed it and to help with errands during the first lockdown, has now provided over 300 gifts to bring Christmas cheer to the community.
With the help of friend Amelia Willett, these gifts have been wrapped and handed out to care homes, to families and individuals.
Debbie said she was incredibly grateful to everyone who has pitched in to help. This will make a huge difference to people who will not have family visiting them in care homes or sheltered accommodation or those that are struggling.
