Degrees of kindness – university staff donate hundreds of gifts for children in need

Staff at Sussex University have donated hundreds of Christmas presents for children in need in Brighton and Hove.

Administrator Simon Robinson organised the collection over several weeks at the university’s Falmer campus for vulnerable children from 0 to 12 years old.

Her kind-hearted colleagues donated over 500 presents for children who are not in care but who are supported by the Brighton and Hove Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH).

Ms Robinson, who works in the university’s Research and Enterprise Services division, was delighted to smash her original target of 200 presents for local families as generous colleagues filled up five tables with toys, games and clothes.
