GTC and the Love In a Box Appeal


Blimey, it's heading towards the festive season at a rate of knots now, no matter how much we try and put it off, but one of the more fun jobs we do here at GTC is put togther a parcel of gifts to go to the Love In a Box Appeal.


This is an annual occurence, facilitated by the Mustard Seed Appeal. Every year we are contacted by Lisa Day, who along with her mother, works as a volunteer collecting gifts which are then put in beautifully wrapped shoeboxes. From the Mustard Seed's depot in Eastbourne over 50,000 shoeboxes are taken each year to underprivileged children in Eastern European schools, orphanages and hospitals, some of whom live in the most terrible poverty.


If you would like to send a gift or two, please contact Lisa Day at lisaandkeanu@yahoo.co.uk, I know they will be thrilled to bits with anything you can add, whether it's a pretty bar of soap or a sticker book!


Thanks!

Becci
