The donated gifts will be shared between Nottingham charity PASIC, The Salvation Army and Nottingham City Council, ensuring underprivileged children from across the city receive gifts this Christmas.

Last Christmas, over 900 toys were donated to the giving boxes, meaning that hundreds of Nottinghamshire children were granted the wish of brand new toys for Christmas.

Nigel Wheatley, general manager of intu in Nottingham, said: “Each year we have organised our charity giving boxes, we have had a fantastic response and the generosity of both shoppers and local businesses is overwhelming. We’ve already filled our box at intu Victoria Centre once this year with toys and gifts for children and we hope to do the same again before Christmas Day.

“We’d like to extend a huge thank you to each and every person who has donated a gift this Christmas.”

Alongside city shoppers, a number of local businesses have also donated toys to intu’s giving boxes, including intu Victoria Centre retailers, Tiger and Claire’s Accessories, Intrepid Manufacturing Limited, Vasek, Chubb and Nottingham-based recruitment agency, Thorn Baker.

Richard Carey, branch manager at Thorn Baker in Nottingham said: “''We’re all really proud to have been able to help support this initiative and thrilled to play our part. These gifts to the children are such a worthy cause and we hope they brighten up their Christmas''
