Councillor Sue Sindon from Redhill East has been helping at the Harlequin which, in a year without a panto, has turned to other means to continue spreading the Christmas cheer. The Harlequin’s auditorium is now home to Stripey Stork, a charity dedicated to making sure everyone can experience the joys of Christmas. Stripey Stork re-homes unwanted toys and delivers them to families who are struggling. This year has been particularly hard for many families and Stripey Stork provides some much needed levity in these long winter months, embodying the Christmas spirit. Each year Stripey Stork provides gifts to thousands of local children who wouldn’t otherwise be able to experience the joy of opening a present on the 25th of December. The charity relies totally on volunteers so if you live in the local area and want to help out or donate some of your own toys follow this link to find out how: StripeyStork.com
The window for donations closes on the 18th December so be quick and don’t miss out on your opportunity to do your bit this year.
