Shoprite trolley in the Victoria Road, Douglas, shop, where customers can donate non-perishable goods for the hampers. <br /> <br /> Nursery principal Carolyn Nicholson said: &#39;The nursery has very strong links with the local community. <br /> <br /> &#39;Initially Victoria House was going to pack and distribute boxes locally, until I heard Age Concern already had an annual Christmas hamper initiative. <br /> <br /> &#39;Shoprite, our near-neighbours in Victoria Road, very kindly lent us a trolley for the children to decorate and gave us permission to set it up in the store. <br /> <br /> &#39;They&#39;ve also provided another two trolleys, so we&#39;ll be lending a hand at two more Shoprite branches, in Ramsey and Port Erin.&#39; <br /> <br /> Age Concern&#39;s Jennie Rowlinson said: &#39;For some years now a number of local companies and individuals have not only very generously donated items for our Christmas hampers but also helped pack and decorate them, so we&#39;re delighted Victoria House Nursery has chosen to join those who help our clients at this time of year. <br /> <br /> &#39;What better example of bridging the generation gap than to have the support of a children&#39;s nursery lending a hand at Christmas to older people in the Isle of Man?&#39;
