Hundreds of gifts, toys, food and toiletries were donated to help charities for Christmas.

The donations were part of this year's AWE Christmas charity collection.

Volunteers wrapped and sorted the items to be given to charities including PACT (Parents and Children Together), West Berkshire Foodbank, Nishkam SWAT (Reading), and Hampshire Hospitals.

AWE's responsible business manager, Kavita, said: "It was non-stop.

"People really stepped up and we know that these gifts will make a difference. It’s a way of doing something practical to help at Christmas.

"Our four charities do amazing work and it is a privilege to be able to do something to support them - for example, the Hampshire Hospitals donations will provide presents for elderly people who are unable to go home this Christmas.

"We are very grateful to all of our AWE colleagues for their kind generosity."
