FRIENDS of Sycamore Adventure have got fundraising all wrapped up this Christmas.

The group will join forces with Merry Hill staff to offer a gift wrapping service at the Brierley Hill shopping centre.

In exchange, shoppers will be asked to make a donation towards the council-run children's adventure centre in Dudley.

Gift wrapping will take place in the upper mall, outside Eat Central, on December 20 and 21, from 12 noon to 4pm.

Late sessions will be held on December 22 and 23, from 12 noon to 10pm, and on Christmas Eve from 10am to 4pm.

Councillor Tim Crumpton, cabinet member for children’s services, said: “I would like to thank the staff from Intu Merry Hill and the Friends of Sycamore for their help in raising funds for the popular children’s centre."
