Leeds gardeners buy £10,000 of Christmas toys... to give away to charity
A team of garden landscapers from Leeds has spent thousands of pounds buying Christmas toys - before donating them all to charity.
Reese Fletcher and his team, from Kippax, originally made and sold more than 800 wooden Christmas trees and raised £10,000.
Using the money, Mr Fletcher and colleagues did the ultimate trolley dash in a toy shop before donating the gifts to charity Forward Leeds, who work with vulnerable families.
Mr Fletcher said the phrase encompassing the entire idea was "it's nice to be nice".
