Staff from Specsavers in St Andrews Square will collect present-filled shoeboxes until November 16 on behalf of Samaritan’s Purse.

Customers can either donate a filled shoebox or individual gifts, such as a toy or clothing, but are asked to state whether their
gift is intended for a boy or girl and the age of the recipient – two to four years-old, five to nine, or ten to 14.
