TLC Christmas hampers appeal
After successful collections in previous years, the Transition and Leaving Care Team are once
again hoping to put together Christmas hampers for our care leavers, who
may be spending the festive period on their own.
We hope that you would consider joining us in our mission to fill the
hampers for our young people, to make their Christmas a bit more special.
Any donations of food items, treats, gifts, cash, vouchers etc can be
delivered to the team on the 8th Floor of Townend House or to Room 41 in
the Council House by 13 December 2013. Please contact the number
below if you need us to collect any items.
If you would like any more information please contact Kathryn Robinson on 01922 650555.
We thank you in advance for your kind generosity.
Have a fabulous Christmas,
TLC
Transition and Leaving Care Team
