Northampton Therapy Animals Help Deliver Festive Hampers
The Northamptonshire village of Spratton was filled with Christmas spirit on Saturday 9th December as therapy animals from Animal Focused joined children from Spratton Church of England Primary School to deliver hampers of Christmas goodies to the elderly and vulnerable in the village.The Village Friends project, which is in its second year, is organised by Spratton residents, Helen Scott and Lisa Harris. Working together they collect, package and deliver the generous donations from villagers and local businesses. Each year children from the local primary school and the therapy dog and pony from Animal Focused get tinselled up to hand deliver each of the hampers, knocking on doors and spreading a little festive cheer. Each hamper contains a variety of edible goodies, small gifts and a hand drawn card or note.
