Santa’s grotto opened for business early at a Walsall firm, when QualitySolicitors CMHT offered its support to Operation Christmas Child. Staff from all three branches wrapped and filled shoe boxes with small gifts they had donated to send to the world’s neediest children.

Val Cox, partner, said: ‘Our staff are always very enthusiastic when helping clients with their problems, so becoming involved in this project was a very obvious thing for us to do.’
