Gill Buchanan, centre manager at Swan Walk, said: “What better way to finish your Christmas shopping trip than to leave your parcels for wrapping giving you the chance to relax over a coffee in one of the town’s great cafes before heading home to hide them all.

“All this while supporting the amazing hospice at the same time.”

The donations have gone to hospice funds to be used to support life-limited children.
