CAB drivers have banded together to give armed forces serving in Afghanistan some Christmas cheer.

The drivers are buying items to send to the troops because they want ‘to do their bit’.

Anyone who wants to help by donating goods can drop them off at the Cannon Cars office, 10-12 Bourne Way, Hayes.

Items wanted include toiletries, tinned and dried foods, books, magazines and old MP3 players.

One of the cabbies, Keith Powell, said: “We just thought we could do our bit.

“If anyone else wants to call by our office and donate anything then we can get it out to Afghanistan in time for Christmas.”

The final day for donations is November 27.
