A NATIONAL charity for blind children, based in Highbridge, is already planning for Christmas - with a party scheduled for London Zoo.

THE National Blind Children's Society turned to the Al Fayed Charitable Trust (Harrods) for help with the party as it has supported the society's golf day for the past three years.

Harrods did not disappoint them and within weeks of the society's request they received a Harrods hamper, which will now be auctioned off and a donation of 25 teddy bears to be used at the children's party.

Tracy Wightman, national fundraising and public relations manger said: "We depend on these vital contributions to ensure that the charity's events are a success and the support of Harrods is greatly appreciated."
