Last year more than 7,280 shoeboxes were sent from Shropshire as part of the Operation Christmas Child campaign.

Volunteers for the cause will be training this week ready to start processing the many fantastic gifts donated by local schools, churches and work places.

The processing plant has been set up at Reviive in Trench Road, Trench, with another set up in The Church of the Holy Spirit in Meadow Farm Drive, Shrewsbury.
