A LATCHFORD veterinary surgery is supporting Mission Christmas to help children wake up with a present on Christmas day.

Vets4Pets, in Thelwall Lane, are acting as a collection point for the charity so members of the public can donate toys and other gift ideas.

Mission Christmas is part of Cash for Kids which lends a helping hand to disabled and disadvantaged children across the UK.

In support of this event Vets4Pets has been running a poll where clients in the surgery or on Facebook can vote for head vet, Iain Mottram, to dress up in different Christmas costumes by donating to the charity.

The choices are the Grinch, Mrs Claus or an elf.
