Calne Men's Shed has brought a little extra Christmas magic to Tesco, with a specially made postbox giving children somewhere to send their letters to Santa this year.
The bright red postbox, complete with a snow-covered roof, was made by members of Calne Men's Shed and has now been installed at the front of Tesco Superstore.
A message displayed on the postbox thanks Calne Men's Shed for kindly handmaking it, praising the members for their 'time, skill and generosity' and saying their efforts have made a real difference to the community.
It adds, 'You've helped to bring a little extra magic to Christmas.'
The group first shared a preview of the festive creation, encouraging shoppers to keep their eyes open for its arrival. It has now taken pride of place at the store, where it is already proving popular.
In an update this week, Tesco thanked the Men's Shed, saying customers had been leaving lovely comments and that the children 'LOVE IT!'
Calne Men's Shed, which proudly reminds people that it is not just for men, welcomes adults of all abilities to come together, enjoy practical activities and socialise.
Its projects regularly benefit the wider community, and this latest creation is a particularly festive example of the difference a little creativity can make.
