BLACKPOOL GIVE A LITTLE, HELP A LOT CAMPAIGN

That this House notes with approval the success in Blackpool of the Christmas Give A Little, Help A Lot, campaign which aims to help underprivileged children in the town to have a happier Christmas by collecting toys, games, books, gift sets, new clothing and other items as well as cash donations for this purpose; further notes that last year's campaign helped over 950 local children; congratulates Pam and Fred Jackson, the originators of the scheme, as well as Blackpool Council, for their wholehearted support and promotion of it, all the local groups, organisations and businesses who are assisting both with gifts and collection points and the generous public across Blackpool; and expresses the hope that this year's campaign, which continues throughout November with collections until 9 December, may consolidate previous success and the reputation of the town for charitable generosity and activity.
