STAFF at Huddersfield accountancy firm Revell Ward are backing Operation Christmas Child, a charity project run by the Samaritans Purse.

People are urged to fill a shoebox with gifts for disadvantaged children in Africa, Eastern Europe and Central Asia.

Karen Borowski, partner at Revell Ward’s Market Street offices, said: “The team have been busy buying appropriate gift items to fill their boxes. It’s been a challenge to wrap the boxes, but great fun buying toys and stationery to fill them.”
