Walking through the doors you could be forgiven for thinking you've wandered into a charming, if ever so slightly chaotic, regional distribution centre for Santa's workshop - and in a way that's sort of what it is.
Today, Blackley-based Humans MCR sat down with a team of nine volunteers, and between them wrapped an impressive 600 gifts for some of the neediest children in Greater Manchester. These are children who, without Humans MCR, might not even eat a proper meal on Sunday, let alone receive a gift. Thanks to this charity, they will get both.
Hidden beneath the apparent chaos was organisation - piles of wrapped gifts sorted by age, different wrapping papers for gifts intended for boys and girls, and lists of gifts pinned to the wall. Batteries were taped to toys that required them, and even a pen and gift tag included with each gift so parents could make them their own. The mission of the day was simple - wrap hundreds of gifts ready to bring smiles to little faces on Christmas morning.
