The generous customers of RGB Building Supplies donated in excess of 250 gifts to the builders merchant's Christmas Present Appeal in aid of Children's Hospice South West.

RGB had been calling for donations suitable for a child of any age or their parents, and the gifts have now been given to Children's Hospice South West to distribute to children and families.

Naomi Dymond, corporate partnerships fundraiser at Children's Hospice South West, said: "We cannot thank the wonderful local community and RGB customers enough for this amazing collection of gifts. For those families staying with us during the festive period, we aim to make sure they have a time to remember, filling the hospices with trees, sparkles and surprises. It is a magical time for both grown-ups and children alike, giving them the opportunity to create special memories during difficult times. These gifts will help us to do that."

Kevin Fenlon, CEO at RGB Building Supplies, said: "We would like to say a huge thank you to our customers and the local community for all their wonderful donations. Children's Hospice South West provides fantastic care and support to children and families across the region and we hope the donations go some way to helping families enjoy the festive period at what must be a difficult time."
