People in and around Wisbech were encouraged to donate their unwanted festive gifts to the Choose2Reuse scheme,run by Cambridgeshire Community Reuse and Recycle Network (CCORRN).

The gifts will be passed on to charity shops and local community groups where they will be reused or sold to raise money for good causes.

Speaking about the event,Horsefair Manager,Kevin Smith said:”The Green Santa initiative received a great response from our shoppers,the team managed to fill four large sacks full of unwanted gifts.”
