Feeling generous? Spare a box of chocolates or gift for a child in care?
I am proud to be a Corporate parent to 360 Looked after Children, plus 200 care leavers under 21 who are making their way in the world of education or work The under 18s might be with foster parents, living in a single B&B room with their parents in Kilburn of Mapesbury, or those with physical disabilities might be in residential care.
Brent does not have enough presents for all of these children, particularly age groups 5 to 9 and age 13 to 15. So if anyone has unwanted gifts from last year or extra gifts it would be brilliant if they could wrap them up nicely and on the outside label the age group and whether for a boy or girl, or either.
If everyone emails me on cllr.lia.colacicco@brent.gov.
Thank you for helping to give every child in Brent the best Christmas possible.
