Merchandise firm supports Santa 's Little Helpers

Embello, the printing and promotional merchandise company based in Wilnecote, Tamworth, is supporting the town 's well-known festive initiative Santa 's Little Helpers.

Founder and MD of Embello, Kyle Raffo, is no stranger to helping out in the community as himself and his team set a record for the World 's Biggest Pudsey as part of BBC Children in Need.

Kyle said: “I love helping out as much as I can within the community and give my time and support to local charities, allowing me and Embello to get involved and help those families and children being supported by Santa 's Little Helpers. ”

Kirsty Sibley from Team Embello said: “Embello is thrilled to be named as a donation point for all the selection boxes going to these deserving families and children. Without the support of the local community and businesses like us in the area, Santa 's Little Helpers would not be able to create a magical Christmas for these deserving families and children. ”

Santa 's Little Helpers (SLH) is a Tamworth-based group of volunteers, who come together once a year to sprinkle some true Christmas magic on deserving children within the community.

For many years, the SLH team have worked to help families who have had a difficult year including children with terminal illnesses, disabilities or those who have lost a parent.

“Santa will visit each family on Christmas Day and deliver a huge slice of Christmas cheer including selection boxes and presents for the children as well as flowers, chocolate and gifts for the parents, ” said Kyle.

“In order to do this, SLH needs help, so please give generously. ”

SLH volunteers and supporters have recently completed a sponsored Jingle Bell Walk from Lichfield to Tamworth - a distance of around nine miles.

In addition, SLH is aiming to raise £5,000 on their Just Giving page to help the deserving families in the Tamworth area.

Team Embello is encouraging donors to bring their selection box gifts to the Embello office at Unit 1 Claymore, Tame Valley Industrial Estate, Wilnecote, Tamworth B77 5BY.

For more information, contact Embello on 01827 282716 or email [email protected]. The team will accept collections up to close of business on Wednesday 22 December.
