Project 61 Christmas Gifts- help needed! Weekend of 29th/30th November

 Project 61 is a Bristol based charity which offers hope and support to people in prison and after their release. We've supported their Christmas gift project for several years and are keen to do so again this year- but we need your help!  

 We're looking for volunteers - just an hour or two makes a big difference, and in the past the gifts have been hugely appreciated. It's the only christmas present some will get this year. 

 The date for your diary is SATURDAY 29th NOVEMBER. We need people to collect the gifts from the storage centre in Easton and bring them to the church halls at 1pm ish (either one large or two small cars), a team to help us pack the bags and to write the cards in the church halls from 2 until about 4pm, and on SUNDAY 30th NOVEMBER transport (again one large or two small cars) to take the packed gift bags back to Project 61's base between 2pm and 3.30pm. 

 All welcome- it's a fun morning and there's jobs for everyone including those of you who are more comfortable seated and (accompanied) children who prefer to dash around! Please messsage Vicky Pitts if you'd like to be involved- johnandvickypitts@gmail.com
