BOXES have been filled with love thanks to the generosity of a group of women in Leftwich.

The women from Senior Moments, at Emmanuel Church, spent an afternoon wrapping shoe boxes and filling them with gifts for Operation Christmas Child.

The group has spent months knitting hats, gloves and scarves and collecting toys toiletries, trinkets, sweets, colouring pencils, pens and books to fill the boxes.

A total of 52 boxes were wrapped and filled ready to be sent to children in need all over the world through Samaritan’s Purse.

Senior Moments meet on Tuesdays at 1.30pm at the church, in Old Hall Road, to enjoy tea or coffee with homemade cake and a varied programme of activities.
