All Harvest Festival donations are put to good use throughout the Association's projects and play a vital part in the support we offer young people.
Within the Projects
On arrival most young people come to the Association with little in the way of food, especially within our direct access units. The harvest festival donations are used to support these young people until they can sort out their circumstances.
From an education prospective to a basic need for food, your donations play a major role in the every day life of the Association.
Christmas Appeal
Every year the Association, with help from its friends, gives every young person attached to the Association a gift on Christmas Day. For some of our residents, it's the only present they get so you can imagine how appreciative they are.
Last year 301 young people received a gift bag filled with numerous gifts. To achieve the same target this year we need your support and kind donations.
How can you help?
We would really appreciate it if you could help us by donating items that we can put in either gift bags or shoeboxes or even take the time to fill a gift bag or shoe box yourself.
If you are using a shoe box please wrap the lid and box separately and secure with a rubber band or use a large gift bag (10" x 8 " available in most discount stores). If you are unable to make up a shoebox or gift bag but could donate some of the contents that would be a tremendous help to us.
Fill the shoebox or gift bag with a variety of small gifts such as :
• Hand towel
• Face cloth
• Soap
• Toothbrush
• Toothpaste
• Shower gel
• Shaving gel
• Deodorant
• Socks
• Mug
• Body spray & toiletries
• Chocolate / sweets
• Gloves / hats / scarves
• Novelty gifts
• Picture Frames
• Writing Pens
