Charity shoeboxes are dispatched
More than 7,000 shoeboxes have been sent to children in Africa as part of a Christmas charity appeal.
Some 755 cartons of shoeboxes packed with gifts were dispatched from Biggleswade to Swaziland.
Operation Christmas Child co-ordinators for the SG postcode area have thanked Biggleswade farmer Peter Tunnard, who let them use his granary to store the boxes.
Co-ordinators Barbara Farquhar and Mary Dominey have also thanked Bibby Distribution, Countryside Marquees, Travis Perkins and volunteers for their help.
