The presents - which were donated by 'big-hearted locals' - were packed up by a team of 12 Topgolf playmakers and volunteers from the Healthy n Happy charity.
As well as the physical gifts, people and businesses from around Glasgow, Rutherglen, and Cambuslang, have contributed a total of £1000 which has allowed Healthy n Happy to buy even more gifts for children, young people, adults and seniors.
Simon Green, operations director at Topgolf Glasgow which is based in Rutherglen said: “It was a heart-warming scene to see so many presents piled high at Topgolf Glasgow ready to be delivered to people in our local area.
"Our playmakers and the Healthy n Happy team really pulled together to make it happen and start spreading festive joy.
“We’ve loved working with our new charity partner Healthy n Happy on our first campaign togetherespecially on an initiative that is so worthwhile and makes a real difference to people.”
Brendan Rooney, executive director at Healthy n Happy, added: “It’s really sad that a lot of local children, adults and older people wouldn’t receive gifts this Christmas, but the generosity of local residents, local businesses in Lanarkshire and Glasgow to our ‘Give a Gift of Joy’ appeal has been incredible. We are so grateful to all who have shown such kindness
“A huge thank you to our corporate partner Topgolf for being a gift drop-off point, the central storage and sorting station, and also for delivering the gifts to the local community.
"This will ensure those needing support will have a more joyful Christmas.”
