Hide AdCharlotte, who is from Bentley, said: “With Christmas coming up I wanted to do something for the community but as a small business we don’t have the funds to make a large lump sum donation of money.
“So I came up with the idea that every time we get an order we will buy a children’s toy and donate it to charity or to a Doncaster hospital.”
“This year has been so hard for many and we can’t possibly imagine what some have been through,” she said.

Hide AdPretty, who is from Auckley, said: “I’m giving out sweet filled boxes to children this year.
“I’m donating some to the Eve Trust, Phoenix and Bluebell Wood.
“As a mum myself I know how far small treats like this can go and for those who might class this as a luxury it will hopefully put a smile on their faces.”
Pretty said she hopes that her donations will balance out the doom and gloom of the new government restrictions.
