A Wrexham AFC star has kicked off a vehicle leasing firm’s toy drive in aid of a children’s hospice charity.

Elliot Lee paid a visit to the V4B Group’s HQ in Wrexham to launch the company’s initiative aimed at collecting toys to bring joy to children at Hope House and Tŷ Gobaith.

The Red’s top scorer, who played a key role in the Hollywood club’s return to the Football League, even brought along his own donation.

All toys collected as part of the scheme will be given to seriously ill children who receive care at the two hospices in Oswestry and Conwy.

The toy drive will run until the beginning of December, with a dedicated drop-off point located at the company’s base at Ellkat House on Wrexham Industrial Estate.

The group, which consists of V4B, Fleetsauce, and Business Finance, said it was encouraging donations as part of its commitment to having a positive impact on the community.

Tony Povey, Managing Director of the V4B Group, said: “We believe in giving back to the community that has supported us over the years.

“Christmas should be a time of joy for every child, and with the help of the Wrexham community, we are delighted to collaborate with Hope House Tŷ Gobaith to make this a reality.

“We hope to see the Wrexham community come together to make a significant impact in the lives of these children.”

Hope House Children’s Hospices provide specialist nursing care and support to more than 750 seriously ill children and their families who live in Shropshire, Cheshire, North and Mid Wales.

The organisation offers vital respite, crisis and end of life care at its two hospices – Hope House in Oswestry and Tŷ Gobaith in Conwy.
