Debbie Nolan-Plunkett, assistant director at Barnardo’s, said: “Huge thanks to Cotton Court and their supporters for 10 fabulous years of changing children and young people’s lives at Christmas.
“There has never been a greater need to support children, young people and families reeling from the cost-of-living crisis and overwhelmed by what should be such a happy time.“Every single gift brings a ray of happiness to a child or young person and ensures that they feel cared for and remembered at a time when they may be missing out on a family Christmas due to being estranged from their families or where families just can’t afford the cost of Christmas.
