IT'S A WRAP! (December 2013 issue)

Back in March, our front cover featured a letter from Compers News member Beth Gerrard. We promised at the time to continue with Beth’s story in our Christmas issue – santa seemed a bit out of place in the spring! – so here’s the rest of her festive tale!

Beth’s prizes last year included £100 worth of Homebase vouchers and a week’s holiday, but her favourite prize was a trolley dash at Hamleys in Glasgow for her grandson Jackson which he took just before Christmas. “Jackson suff ers from dyspraxia and I didn’t think he would be able to collect many toys as he can’t run well and frequently trips and falls over, but Hamleys were absolutely wonderful and provided him with several of their elves to help out”, Beth told us earlier this year. “Both he and my daughter were overwhelmed by the warmth and generosity of the staff at the shop and the huge amount of toys he came away with, so many in fact that the family decided to donate some of them to a local children’s charity.”
