Toys bring festive cheer to communities: Generous JCB employees have delivered another record year for the company’s annual Christmas Toy Appeal – donating an amazing 1,787 gifts.

Donations poured into 15 different collection points across the company’s UK plants when the appeal was launched in November, beating last year’s total of 1,700 presents. Now the bulk of the gifts have been handed over to Stoke-on-Trent charity the Hubb Foundation for distribution to families in the greatest need.

Hubb Foundation Operations Manager Tom Beecham said: “JCB’s Christmas Toy Appeal means so much to us as a charity and it means so much to the children and families we work with in Stoke-on-Trent. Christmas is a challenging time of year, so to bring some happiness and positivity to children at this time of year is wonderful. We can’t thank JCB and all the employees enough for their ongoing generosity.”

The first batch of gifts was delivered to thrilled pupils at the New Ford Academy in Smallthorne, Stoke-on-Trent by JCB-sponsored athlete and Olympic silver medallist Adam Burgess and JCB apprentices Kitty Hulme, Lewis Durham, and Lucy Pepper.

Deputy Head Tracy Moller said: “It was wonderful to see the excitement on the children’s faces as the gifts were distributed. We would like to thank all the fabulous employees at JCB for their generous donations.”

Since the appeal’s launch in 2022, employees have donated almost 6,000 gifts for distribution to children and young people. In Wrexham, gifts donated by JCB Transmissions’ employees are being given to the Salvation Army for local distribution. A number of gifts were also donated to Cheadle Primary School for distribution to families.

Helping to co-ordinate this year’s appeal were JCB apprentices: Kitty Hulme, 20, of Newcastle under-Lyme, Lewis Durham, 20, of Derby, Lucy Pepper, 23, of Stoke-on-Trent, and Will Jenkins, 20, of Stone.

Price Turfcare and Ventrac at BTME 2026

Price Turfcare and Ventrac at BTME 2026: Price Turfcare, will have a bigger stand, 122 in Hall 1, at BTME 2026, enabling them to exhibit a wider range of Ventrac products. There will be three of the 4520 tractor units showcasing an Aeravator and over seeding box combination, a triplex cylinder mower attachment and a front mounted bucket with rear mounted fertilizer spreader.

Just some of the more than 32 different attachments available. Ventrac has been particularly successful in the golf sector since being introduced into the UK by Price Turfcare. Hundreds of machines have been sold to courses over the last seven years. The BTME show stand will exhibit what is proving specifically attractive to golf course managers and operators, which is the fact that one tractor unit can complete many tasks such as mowing rough areas, collars, tee tops and fairways.

Then, within minutes, it can be used for aeration, top dressing, drainage or path reclamation tasks but for less capital outlay than something like a traditional fairway mower. The uniquely low centre of gravity allows more precipitous (up to 30 degrees) areas of the course to be tackled without fear of tipping of slipping. This versatility ensures Ventrac users get more out of the traction unit than they would out of a job specific machine. Come and see for yourself why so many golf courses are migrating towards Price Turfcare and the unique Ventract range.
