A Bridport company made a kind donation to the Dorset Echo Toy Appeal.

The annual appeal this year raised a record £4,493. The project has been running for 17 years and aims to ensure no child goes without a Christmas present.

Heavers of Bridport gave £100 to help us buy gifts for needy children this Christmas.

Company directors Luke and Ross Heaver said: "It must be heartbreaking to know you can't get even the smallest present for your child. 

"So to those families in need, we hope our donation brings smiles all round on Christmas morning.”
