"We have received a comprehensive range of toys right from those suitable for small babies, right the way up to things for teenagers, from the ages of 0-17, there really is something for everyone."Lucie Roberjot collecting gifts for Telford Young Carers Sue Last and Lucie Roberjot collected more than 200 gifts on behalf of Telford Young Carers, which provides support for youngsters who are responsible for caring for a loved one.
