The Lamb Inn in Bicester is running a toy collection to help less fortunate families in the area.

The toys will be collected until Friday, December 10, after which they will be picked up by the Salvation Army, who will distribute the toys to local families.

Team leader Sandy Butler said they received loads of toy donations from people in the community.

She said: “The start of it was quite slow, and then when we got a few little bits in, it just sort of kicked off, and we’ve been shocked by the amount of toys we have collected. It’s been amazing.”

The fifty-year-old Christmas organiser said they gained a massive boost thanks to their Thursday night quiz team, through which they managed to raise £156.

Sandy added: “Everybody thinks it’s an really amazing idea, and people who are less fortunate do need it.”
