The packs, which include festive food items, toiletries and stocking filler gifts, will be given to young people supported by Digartref on the island. Georgia, Antonia and Molly appealed for and collected the donations, and then, during their spare time, over their lunch breaks and after school, put the packs together.

Toyota U.K. has unveiled a special GR Yaris designed to pay tribute to essential workers that have proved so vital during the coronavirus pandemic.
The exterior of the customized hot hatch has been designed by 16-year-old high school student Alice Goodlife as part of the company’s ‘Design a Rally Car Livery’ art contest. The covers to the special GR Yaris were taken off at the final WRC round in Monza, Italy.
Immediately catching the eye is the front end of the hot hatch that is wearing a surgical face mask with straps around the wing mirrors. Additionally, the roof and rear of the car have a rainbow-colored paint scheme while the sides feature the profiles of a nurse, teacher, construction worker, shopkeeper, and police officer. The design also includes daffodils, the official flower of Wales.
