OLDER Wharfedale residents have been benefitting from a festive campaign supported by local schoolchildren.

The campaign got underway in November when the company asked primary school pupils in the area to create and donate Christmas cards, artwork or kind messages.

Ilkley Good Neighbours Trustee and Christmas Parcels Co-ordinator, Ed Duguid said: “At this particularly tough time for everyone and certainly for some of the older members of our community, we all agreed we had to find a way to deliver the annual Christmas Parcels and bring a smile to their faces.”
