Chief Constable Loads Up Christmas Presents for Kids in Need
Chief Constable Scott Chilton rolled up his sleeves today at the Netley training HQ, helping pack trucks full of Christmas presents. The mission? To ensure every gift lands under the tree by Christmas morning for children in need.
Gifts Packed Thanks to Police and Council Team-Up
In partnership with southampton/" title="Southampton" data-wpil-keyword-link="linked">Southampton City Council, the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary have made it their mission to brighten the season for vulnerable kids. Every box packed signals hope for a child who might have otherwise faced a bare Christmas.
Chief Constable Speaks Out on Generosity
“Every box you see here represents a child who may not have had anything to unwrap on Christmas morning.
It’s incredibly sad that appeals like ours are necessary, but the generosity from everyone across Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary has been incredible. This fantastic kindness shows how much our staff care about those most in need.
I just want to thank every single person who has donated. You have gone a long way to giving hundreds of children a better Christmas.”
Council Praises Police Gift Drive
“The toys and gifts donated by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary will make a huge difference to vulnerable children and young people in Southampton. Thank you to everybody who donated.”
— Councillor Alex Winning, Cabinet Member for Children and Learning, Southampton City Council
