In the spirit of Christmas, several black cars from ride-hailing service company Uber - UberSLEIGHs - turned up at people's homes and offices yesterday to collect toys, books, clothes and stationery. Singapore Red Cross will distribute the items to underprivileged children.

Another round of collections will take place today between noon and 3pm. Those who want to donate can sign up via the Uber app and drivers will pick up the items.

The UberSLEIGH campaign is part of Giving Week, a range of events and activities encouraging people to donate to charity and to volunteer.

Giving Week is organised by the National Volunteer & Philanthropy Centre and lasts until Monday.
