The mountain of treats were collected by staff at Blackpool’s Warbreck House, Department of Work and Pensions (DWP), who wanted to support the campaign started by their colleague, Elliot’s dad, Chris Lamb.

Matron for A&E, Sue Roberts, said: “We are very honoured to be selected to receive this donation and I know our staff will appreciate this gesture.

“It is amazing how kind people are at this time of year.”
