STAFF at Oxford law firm Morgan Cole and healthcare research company Picker Institute Europe have teamed up to donate gifts to disadvantaged children in a “Secret Santa” initiative More than 30 children aged up to 16 who are cared for by the Oxfordshire Thriving Families programme were able to have gifts of their choice including games, computer equipment and vouchers for local stores.

Ms Hubbert said: “We really hope Secret Santa will become an annual project and that we will be able to help more children next year.”
