Yesterday, our HUB was turned into Santa’s workshop!
On Wednesday 10th December 2025, a team of our wonderful OLLY volunteers gave up their time to spend the whole day wrapping presents for this year’s OLLY Santa Drop. From the moment they arrived, it was scissors, tape, Christmas paper and gift tags at the ready – with plenty of laughter and festive tunes along the way.
Earlier in the week, on Tuesday 9th December 2025, we were absolutely blown away when the amazing couple from SALEXMO arrived with hundreds of presents for our OLLY members. Thanks to their kindness, we had mountains of toys and gifts ready to go – and yesterday, our volunteers took on the huge task of wrapping every single one.
It was not a small job.
Everywhere covered in presents, paper rolls, labels and pens. Our volunteers worked carefully through each pile – wrapping, tagging, and making sure everything was organised and ready to be delivered to children and young people across Liverpool and Birkenhead.
We now have all the presents wrapped, sorted and prepared for the OLLY Santa Drops over the coming weeks. Every gift is more than just a present – it’s a little bit of love and joy, going straight to a child or young person who really deserves a smile this Christmas.

To every single volunteer who came along yesterday:
thank you from the bottom of our hearts. 💛
You gave your time, your energy and your care to help make Christmas that bit more magical for our OLLY members. We simply couldn’t do any of this without you.
And once again, a huge thank you to Ian & Chelsea from SALEXMO for their incredible donation of toys – and to our volunteers for turning that generosity into Christmas magic, one wrapped present at a time. 🎁🎄
