People in Elmbridge came up trumps to make sure disadvantaged children have something to unwrap on Christmas Day.

Office space provider Regus is collecting present-filled shoeboxes to send to those in need, with people dropping boxes off at Cobham motorway services and Brooklands Business Park, Weybridge.

The appeal involves filling shoeboxes with toys, sweets and gifts to send to children overseas in refugee camps, orphanages and homeless shelters.

John Spencer, chief executive of Regus in the UK, said: “We were really pleased our local network of Regus centres could help by being collection points for such a worthwhile cause.

“We would like to thank all the local businesses, schools, groups and individuals who brought in shoeboxes and made it a great success.”
