It all started with a spark in Teds mind; one that we probably all feel…………. We want to help those in need, but where does the money thrown into buckets actually go? Then Ted heard about ShelterBox; an international disaster relief charity that delivers emergency shelter, warmth and dignity to people affected by disaster worldwide. In short, ShelterBox is a family shelter and survival essentials in a box. The Collins pack lead the way with young Angus walking to France – he walked continuously whilst on the cross channel ferry, which raised £100. Fra baked her fingers raw making cakes and goodies, which she then sold to work colleagues. The rest of the Collins pack then sold their services to parents for good deeds done in order to take their total to well over £400.
GSL Paul heard how well the Collins pack had done and wanted to jump on the bandwagon to boost the monies already raised. A plan for a Karaoke-Disco was hatched and came to fruition with a great turnout consisting of faces old and for just £2 an adult and a quid-a-kid. Maggie organised a well stocked raffle with some fab prizes and the decks were managed by Stu, Fra, Dibs and Adam.
The final total is not yet in, but I’m sure that thanks to your valued contributions we’ve far exceeded the £490 needed to get our ShelterBox off to where it’s needed at the earliest possible date – whatch this space……………
