ADAM Morrison is happy to help local needy youngsters have a trolley good Christmas this year.

In fact, he is happy to get in the right spirit by posing in a supermarket trolley full of toys for the BEN/Bolton Lions Caring Christmas appeal.

Adam, aged 21, works at the Safeway store in Breightmet where staff collected gifts to boost the appeal for the borough's poorest youngsters.

The generosity of the store has been typical of the response from local supermarkets to the appeal, with Tesco Extra at Horwich and local Asda stores all playing Father Christmas this year.

As a result of their generosity, other firms and the public, hundreds of local children will receive presents on Christmas morning -- many of them paid for by kind donations which have poured into the BEN.
