In 63 days’ time families and friends will gather to celebrate Christmas Day. But for many people the associated costs of the festive season can cause something of a problem.

The Covid-19 pandemic has put further strain on families across the borough, and with this in mind Droylsden Amateur Boxing Club has been spurred into action.

Long-standing coach, Ian Harrison, has decided to launch a food and toy appeal to ease the pressure on struggling families in the area.

The club launched the appeal on the 11th October and there has already been a great response. Ian has been delighted with the donations and now hopes the community can rally around and make Christmas Day that bit more special for those in need.
