In a fantastic response to the Tinman Tuesday Kilgetty And Surrounding Area’s collections for PATCH Toy Appeal and foodbank, Tuk Tuk Time Elf, Keith, spent the day driving around Kilgetty and surrounding areas collecting donations last Tuesday. He also met with a group of Saundersfoot residents at Coppet Hall car park to collect their very generous donations.

The community certainly stepped up and as a result PATCH were able to take a van full of donations to sort and distribute to those facing difficult times this Christmas.

“Through the year we have collected regular donations for PATCH Foodbank, but this was something special. It is thanks to Tuk Tuk Time and Keith the Elf that we were able to collect extra donations for Christmas, we hope that in this season of love that those receiving the gifts and food will be especially blessed, and this will give them a sense of how much our community cares. We thank all at Tuk Tuk Time, especially Keith The Elf, and all who donated for their generosity, and PATCH for their ongoing hard work supporting local families.” Shared Sharron Hardwick.
