“It’s incredibly sad that appeals like ours are necessary, but it is incredible to see the generosity from everyone across Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary who has donated this year. This is fantastic generosity and shows the kindness of our staff in supporting those most in need. “I just want to thank every single person who has donated.
You have gone a long way to giving hundreds of children a better Christmas.”
Cllr Alex Winning, cabinet member for children and learning at Southampton City Council, said: “The toys and gifts donated by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary will make a huge difference to vulnerable children and young people in Southampton.
Thank you to everybody who donated.”
