Grantham Travel is among 14 travel agents calling on customers to help pack Santa's Suitcase and bring Christmas cheer to local charities.

Grantham Food Bank will benefit from all the items donated to the High Street store.

It's part of a campaign running until Friday, December 6th, in which a variety of local groups are being supported by Lincolnshire Co-op travel branches.

Items which are needed for the appeal range from small toys and books to canned food and toiletry gift sets. The donations will then be handed to each outlet's chosen charity in time for Christmas.

Lincolnshire Co-op's Travel Group Manager Travel Wayne Dennett said he hopes lots of customers will get behind the appeal.

"These groups provide a valued service making life better for vulnerable people in our communities," he said.

"We hope the gifts and items we're collecting through the Santa's Suitcase campaign will help those who may be struggling this festive season."
