STAFF at the O2 shop in Merrywalks, Stroud, have launched their annual gift appeal for children spending Christmas in hospital.

The phone shop is now accepting any donations from the public as part of their initiative to bring a little Christmas joy to the children’s ward in Gloucestershire Royal Hospital.

Dan English, manager of the Stroud branch told the SNJ, “We normally take the presents over to the hospital just before Christmas. The nurses are really appreciative of it too.  

“It not only gives O2 a chance to get out in the community, but also lets us give something back.”

If you have any items to donate, please bring them down to the O2 shop.
