Hall & Woodhouse, the leading independent family-owned Dorset brewer, is backing Wave 105’s Mission Christmas campaign to support children living in poverty across the south.

The Brewery based in Blandford, Dorset, will be accepting present donations to ensure disadvantaged children from across the south coast have a present to open this Christmas. The present drop-off point will be located in the Brewery Tap restaurant until Thursday, December 12. Mission Christmas asks for new and unwrapped presents and supports children from birth to those aged 18.

Lucinda Gray, sixth-generation of the Woodhouse family and Hall & Woodhouse Charity Champion, said: “Mission Christmas ensures that disadvantaged children living on our doorsteps have a present to open this year. The charity works hard throughout December to ensure all the presents are collected and distributed to the families in time for Christmas.

“We felt it was only right to support this campaign and encourage our team members, as well as members of the public, to donate and help make a difference within the community this festive season.”

Hall & Woodhouse’s Brewery Tap restaurant is located at the family-owned brewery, in Blandford St Mary, Dorset, DT11 9LS. For further information about Wave 105’s Mission Christmas campaign please visit wave105.com/mission.
