We’re running our Christmas Giving Tree again and are appealing to our communities to help us to brighten Christmas for vulnerable children who may otherwise receive little or nothing.

If you can donate a small gift, we’ll pass it on. We’re collecting them up until Monday 18 December and working with partners to identify children who will benefit the most.

Our officers and staff will then get busy wrapping and delivering in time for the big day.

Here in Southend you can drop your gifts off at our police station in Victoria Avenue, Southend SS2 6ES any time between 9am and 5pm seven days a week, or you may wish to shop online and get your present delivered or you may wish to order from our Amazon Wish List at https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/1N1K2BXOZ77E4

Thank you for your support!
