WE have always know that Gazette readers' generosity knows no bounds and that has been proven once again with the overwhelming response to our Christmas Toy Appeal.
Hundreds of needy children will be receiving presents thanks to the mountain of toys that have been brought to our offices.
Meanwhile Operation Christmas Child lorries are on the way to eastern Europe with more than 2,000 shoeboxes filled with gifts, again donated by you.
On behalf of Operation Christmas Child and The Salvation Army, who will distribute the Gazette's toys, thank you once again for your kindness.
