Madeleine Moon MP took to
the streets of Bridgend on Saturday morning, collecting for the local Farepak Christmas appeal.
Many families with young children
have been devastated by the collapse of Farepak Food and Hamper Company, losing thousands of pounds.
In just two hours, Mrs Moon and
her team collected over £200.
“The people of Bridgend
have shown by their generosity that community spirit is still very strong in our town.” Mrs Moon said.
“These are families who
had saved and prepared for Christmas in plenty of time in order to give their children the happy Christmas they deserve.”
Peter Morgan Estate Agents took
the lead by setting up an appeal fund and pledging donations from every property that they sell until Christmas.
Further collections will be made
at the McArthur Glen shopping outlet on the weekend of the 9th and 16th of December and further gift
or monetary donations are welcomed at any Peter Morgan office.
Mrs Moon added;
“We can all help to make
sure that families who have been so badly let down by big business are given the support that they need.”
