SIX generous Thurrock businesses have got together to make Christmas special for three deserving borough families.

Grayers Graphics, AB Installs Ltd, DF Roofing, JVH Building Services, FBS Motor Salvage and Howgates estate agents have each donated £600 to a collective fund.

It will be distributed to three families who will be treated to a shopping spree for Christmas gifts and food - with travel costs covered by Events Luxury Travel.

Residents are being invited to nominate deserving families, explaining why they think they should win. Nominations should be sent to Grayers Graphic s' Facebook page - click 'additional info link below)

The three chosen families will be announced on Monday, 23 December.
