Small Acts of Kindness & Violet's Gift Christmas Gift Wrapping

We are delighted to invite you to help wrap Christmas gifts that will be given to local older people in care homes who will be on their own over the festive period.

We have the wrapping paper, Sellotape and scissors and all we need now is you! We will be wrapping gifts on the following days.

PLEASE BOOK USING THE EVENTBRITE LINK. 

 

The sessions will run from:

Morning: 10am – 12.30pm

We welcome teams from businesses, individuals, families and friends. 

Our packing stations/tables will be spaced well apart. There will be 10 tables per session with a maximum of 2 people per table or 1 family per table.

In line with current Government guidelines we strongly recommend that you:

  1. Take a lateral flow test before you come to a session
  2. Wear a mask
  3. Maintain a sensible distance of at least a metre from other volunteers
  4. Wash your hands regularly whist on site

These recommendations may change over the weeks and months ahead and we will advise you nearer the time if there are any updates

 

To register to help us wrap Christmas gifts, please book using the Eventbrite link on this page or call Frances on 07956 536978 or email her at [email protected]

 

We cannot do this without your kindness and support and extend a huge thank you in advance.
