Peterborough Asylum and Refugee Community Association (PARCA) is collecting gifts for refugee families in the city to ensure youngsters have presents to open on Christmas day.

Mr Bristow dropped off a number of donations this week to support the appeal.

He said: “I am supporting the PARCA Christmas Gift Appeal this year. They want to make sure vulnerable refugee families in Peterborough are able to have a happy Christmas.

“Due to COVID a partnership with a major retailer can no longer continue, so they are relying on donations.

“The former Peterborough Mayor and Council Leader John Peach joined me at their centre this morning on Northfield Road to drop of some donated gifts.

“If people can spare a little something or perhaps can buy an extra gift this year when shopping for loved ones - PARCA will ensure they go to a good home. They make me Proud of Peterborough.”
