We’ve done it, The Giving Tree for 2018 has now ended!

We can confirm that the total number of gifts donated this year is a massive 4,702!  It’s been overwhelmingly busy to the point that the last collection was at 7.15am today! We are once again in awe of the generosity of Springfields’ shoppers and touched by their kind words and gestures that are often included with their gift.

The charities that have benefited from these gifts are as follows: Cambridge Woman’s Aid, HomeStart Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire County Council Social Services (lots of departments), Tom’s Trust, Anna’s Hope, Teenage Cancer Trust, Peterborough Woman’s Aid, Spectrum Cambridge, CPFT (Cambridge & Peterborough Foundation Trust) and Barnardo’s Services.

“We’d like to say a huge thanks to our incredibly generous listeners for donating so many gifts this year. It means that thousands of children and young people who might have woken up to no presents under the tree will have something to open on Christmas Day.”
