Christmas may feel like a distant memory but its goodwill continues.

Dorset law firm Coles Miller Solicitors is supporting Diverse Abilities by regifting presents.

Throughout January, people can support the charity’s Great Christmas Present Amnesty by donating any spare gifts they received.

Diverse Abilities will then raffle and auction them off at its fundraising events throughout the year.

Coles Miller staff are donating gifts at collection points at the firm’s Poole, Fleetsbridge, Bournemouth and Broadstone offices.

Presents for donation typically include beauty products, books, alcohol and food hampers.

Electrical products are excluded.

Nick Balchin, Coles Miller’s Marketing Director, pictured left, said: “This is a wonderful opportunity to support a very worthwhile cause by continuing the kindness of Christmas throughout January.”

Poole-based Diverse Abilities helps children and adults with disabilities to achieve their full potential by providing a lifetime of sustainable support and educational services.
