Surrey Heath gym donates Christmas hampers to vulnerable residents
Maximus Gym in Frimley say they are passionate about supporting the local community
Some of Surrey's most vulnerable families are getting help this Christmas from a surprising source - their local gym!
Frimley's Maximus Gym have come together to create and donate 20 hampers to Surrey Heath Borough Council’s Family Support team.
The Council will ensure they are given to deserving families in the borough, who would otherwise have very little for Christmas this year.
These special 'Christmas in a box' hampers include food, drinks, Christmas day games, toys and toiletries, plus a food voucher for fresh produce.
As well as putting together these festive boxes for vulnerable families, warm hubs have been set up around Surrey for those that are struggling to heat their homes this Christmas.
Surrey Heath Councillor Sarah Jane Croke said: ‘We are so grateful for the wonderful Christmas hampers that Maximus Gym and its members have donated this year.
“These will all be gifted to some of the most vulnerable families in Surrey Heath, who would have otherwise gone without this Christmas.
"It's an amazing symbol of the community spirit we have in our Borough and makes me very proud.”
A spokesperson for Maximus Gym said: “Maximus Gym are passionate about supporting the local community and bringing everyone together.
“We've put together Christmas hampers for several years now, and this year, even though times are tough for many people, members of the gym have gone above and beyond to support the most vulnerable families in the area by donating towards these hampers - Merry Christmas!"
