THIS year the owners of Shap Chippy put together a Gifting Tree campaign to collect gifts for children across Cumbria. Partnering up with Jigsaw, Cumbria’s Children’s Hospice, the team at Shap Chippy collected stacks of presents which are now being sent out to Children across the county.
“This year has been very tough for a lot of people out there, and we wanted to do something to help make sure that children have a present to come down to this Christmas. Covid has been a nightmare for everyone and if we can help bring a little festive cheer we will,” said Ashely, Co-Owner Shap Chippy.
The creative team at Shap Chippy put up a Christmas tree with the names and ages of 50 children on gift tags, to allow their customers to take a name tag and buy that child a present. Little did they know that 50 tags would not be enough and the support from the local community was fantastic!
“Not only did we receive stacks of presents, we also had online donations for those isolating or unable to get to the shops to buy a gift. These donations will be used to buy children experiences at Jigsaw in Carlisle, these experiences will give children something they would not usual have access to without the great work of the team at Jigsaw,” said Matt, Co-Owner Shap Chippy.
The owners Matt & Ashley delivered the presents to the hospice so the fantastic team can deliver them to children across the county ready for December 25th.
‘Shap Chippy is not just about delicious fish and chips, but about being part of the local community. As small businesses we have asked that you support us and we feel its only right that we do our best to support you too’
