A TOWN centre business is hoping to spread some festive cheer to children spending Christmas in hospital.
Financial advisors CRS Consultants in Northwich has launched an appeal for selection boxes, which will be donated to the children's wards at the Victoria Infirmary and Leighton Hospital.
The firm is buying a number selections boxes to kick-start the initiative and has now opened its Dane Street office for donations from members of the public.
Managing director Clive Steggel said: "Each year we try to do something different for the benefit of others.
"This year, Vikki Thompson in our commercial insurance department, wanted to do something special for children who may be in one of the local hospitals over Christmas.

"As a firm, we will be supporting this and buying chocolate selection boxes to add to the donations, alongside our staff members and their families who have already donated a number of boxes, and we hope our clients and connections may wish to join us in this wonderful initiative."
Donations can be taken to the CRS Consultants office in the Parrs Bank buildings, near the Bull Ring, between now and Monday, December 11. Delivery to the hospitals will take place on Thursday, December 14.
The office is open between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday.
