Crewe Toll company collaborates with Forth One Radio to address Holiday Hunger
Going hungry in the school holidays is a harsh reality for many youngsters across the UK, and the All Party Parliamentary Group on Hunger recently warned that too many children have to survive on crisps and energy drinks when school kitchens are closed.
Roxburghe supporting Cash for Kids
Charlotte Square’s Roxburghe Hotel will play its part in Cash for Kids Mission Christmas this year – as a local toy drop-off point.
Radio Forth presenter Mark Martin (pictured above with porter Jamie Wood), paid a visit to the hotel yesterday to deliver its Mission Christmas donation box and meet the Roxburghe team.
As part of Cash for Kids Mission Christmas, locals are being asked to buy one extra gift to be given to a disadvantaged child or young person on Christmas morning.
Marcello Ventisei, general manager of The Roxburghe Hotel, said: “We’re delighted to play our part for such a great cause. It’s such a simple but effective way of making sure that children and young people living in more difficult circumstances still wake up to a gift on Christmas day. We would encourage anyone passing the hotel, staying with us or attending our Christmas party nights to donate a gift no matter how small.”
New, unwrapped gifts suitable for those aged 0 to 18 can be dropped off at The Roxburghe Hotel’s reception from anytime between now and 14 December.
Any other local businesses who wish to sign up as Cash for Kids Mission Christmas drop-off points have until 23 November to do so. Contact emma.kemp@radioforth.com for further information.
