Zebra Print Group launches Christmas toy appeal

Zebra Print Group is supporting Leeds Children’s Charity at Lineham Farm’s Christmas Gift Appeal 2026, collecting new toys, games, books and essential items to help bring festive joy to children who need it most. As part of its annual festive charity initiative, Zebra Print Group is partnering with its accountants, Kirk Newsholme, to encourage colleagues, family, friends and the wider community to get involved by donating gifts for children of all ages. Donations will be collected until Wednesday, November 18, with items helping the charity support children and families across Yorkshire during the Christmas period. The appeal welcomes a range of new gifts, including LEGO and construction sets, board games, dolls, action figures, toy cars, craft kits, colouring books, reading books, educational toys and musical instruments. Children's nightwear and toiletries, particularly items suitable for older children

and teenagers, are also needed. All gifts must be brand new, unopened and unwrapped to allow the charity to organise and distribute donations safely. “Christmas is a time for giving, and we’re delighted to be supporting Leeds Children’s Charity at Lineham Farm with this year’s Christmas Gift Appeal,” said Samantha Overton, managing director at Zebra Print Group. “As a business, we believe it’s important to give something back to our local community, and our annual festive charity initiative is a great opportunity to bring people together for a worthwhile cause.” n

Konica Minolta employees take on charity challenge

Following the success of its seven mile Royal Parks Walk in June, Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK) Ltd took on its most ambitious charity challenge of the year: The KM Ultra Walk, a 28-mile endurance event, in support of Cancer Research UK. The Ultra Walk was the second of two sponsored events Konica Minolta has organised this year in partnership with Challenge Central, reinforcing the company’s commitment to creating positive social impact and supporting the communities it serves. While the first walk brought colleagues together for an accessible, inclusive challenge, the Ultra Walk gave participants the opportunity to push themselves further and make an even greater fundraising impact. Starting in Epping, the 28-mile largely

flat route took in peaceful sections of the Thames Path, Victoria Park, Granary Square and finished at St Pancras. The route took walkers through a full day challenge designed to test stamina, teamwork and determination. “The energy and generosity shown during our Royal Parks Walk in June was truly inspiring, and [the] Ultra Walk gives us another opportunity to come together for a cause that matters deeply to so many,” said Gillian Nuttall, ESG partner at Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK) Ltd. “This challenge is about resilience, teamwork and the belief that every mile brings us closer to breakthroughs in cancer research. We’re incredibly proud of everyone taking part and grateful to all who support our fundraising efforts.” n
