Cheap or free (charitable love job) PLEASE HELP!

Post by Lee-on-sea » Sun Apr 08, 2018 11:51 am

Hi all.

So, I'm throwing out a request for help here... Please be kind. :D

I work for East Anglia's Children's Hospices, I'm the deputy manager at the shop on London road south and we're in need of an act of kindness. Our volunteer day is on the 14th of this month at Bury st Edmunds, it's a day where we honour our volunteers by saying thank you with certificate presentations, a lovely lunch and updates on the charity. This year however, the kirkley crew have come unstuck. We've been let down by our transport provider and now we have only a few days to arrange an alternative means of transport to and from. We've been given a very small budget for this, which has priced us out of hiring a minibus or getting a coach company to transport us (13 volunteers in total). *We need help!!*

Are there any kind souls out there who can help us out of our predicament so we can get our fantastic volunteers to and from their volunteer day?

Any offer of help will be gratefully received.

Thanks in advance.

Lee.

So the lovely volunteers at EACH Lowestoft got to go on their volunteer day today, they had a wonderful time, and each and every one of our volunteers that went want me to pass their genuine thanks to you boatbuilder, without your help we would not have been able to go.
It was an occasion marked with pride for our volunteer Christian who received his five year award.

I'm glad you all managed to go and that everyone enjoyed themselves, Lee. Congratulations to Christian on his award.

Thanks for posting the pictures of your volunteers who I am sure do a wonderful job in the Lowestoft shop. I was only too pleased to help.
