POLICE officers will do their bit to make Christmas a little merrier for the elderly this year by collecting food donations for special festive hampers.
Community Support Officers from Aldborough Safer Neighbourhoods Team will be present outside two of the borough's Tesco supermarkets during the next fortnight to accept food gifts from shoppers - which will be given to older people across Redbridge.
Officers will be at the branch in Woodford Avenue, in Clayhall from 10am to 2pm tomorrow (December 8) and at Tesco's in Cranbrook Road, Barkingside from 10am until 2pm on Wednesday.
They will also be collecting goods at the Barkingside branch on Sunday, December 13 from 10am until 2pm.
