“This year we will be helping St Cuthbert’s Church in Peterlee and Ward Jackson School in Hartlepool who will be joining us with their collections.”

People are welcome to collect leaflets from Masons, Hartlepool, anytime from now until the collection week which runs from November 14 to 18, and also drop off their shoe boxes.
