Residents at the Copperfields development in Poynton provided a helping hand for struggling families across Stockport this festive season.

Residents of the Bellway development on Dickens Lane - along with Bellway sales advisor Debbie Fender - spent three weeks before Christmas collecting books, toys, tech and more.

 The items were then donated to the Cash For Kids Mission Christmas appeal. The charity in turn then distributed them as gifts to struggling families across Stockport.

"With so many families affected by rising costs in living, Christmas is a luxury that some cannot afford this year", a spokesperson for Bellway said. "Thousands of children are at risk of waking up without a present to open on Christmas morning."

15 of Bellway's other new-build developments across the region were equally busy, collecting hundreds of gifts in total.  

Sales director at Bellway, Grace Yarlett, said: "With many feeling the financial pressure of Christmas right now, we wanted to do something to help Cash For Kids put presents under the tree for local children who would otherwise go without. 

"No child should be without a gift on Christmas morning and with the support of our wonderful residents, we have been able to do our bit to contribute and spread a little festive joy."

Fundraising executive at Mission Christmas, Leah Wegener, added: "We're delighted to have Bellway on board this Christmas. It's incredible what has been achieved in such a short space of time. 

"We look forward to receiving the gifts and making sure they get to the most needy families before Christmas day."
