it's December, so as previous years the 'Bancroft Santas' got together to collect toys & gifts for the Magpie project, aiming for the smallest of kids this time, 0-2.

And as previous years, Dan & family set up the day to wrap and tag presents, to shopping for more from donated money to snacks and drinks to keep the team going.

No surprise than Magpie founder Jane was once again overwhelmed with the bags full, barely fitting into 2 cars to get them to base and share with the mums in need.
