AN anonymous donor has given £600 cash to this year’s Christmas appeals, to be split between gifts for the elderly and Save the Children.

The Herald and Messenger newspapers would like to say thank you to this man who gives so generously each year.

The shoebox appeal organised in Haslemere, Liphook, Farnham, Bordon, Alton and Petersfield will distribute gifts and food items to elderly residents in each area.

In Haslemere, gift boxes filled with presents from donors will be given to the elderly at a Christmas lunch organised by the Orchard Club at Haslewey Community Centre, Lion Green, on Monday.
