This is Daniel, our wonderful 10 year old son. Three years ago, he got upset seeing so many people on the streets who were struggling, so he decided to help.
We contacted the wonderful Jane Hayward at The Glebe Centre in Walsall, who help people who are struggling with not only food and cleaning facilities, but also life skills, someone to talk to and advice from people who genuinely care about them.
Daniel organises a Christmas tombola stall and uses lots of his own toys and books to help with the fundraising. The first year he raised just over £200, £300 the next. Last year he set himself the target of £500 and managed to raise £1225!! This has only just been fully spent and has supported the centre throughout the year, which was beyond his dreams, all thanks to you guys.
This money helps to support Christmas and Boxing Day celebrations, as well as additional provisions for the centre which we can take along (list below if you can help with that too!). Bread sticks /Cranberry sauce / Tablecloths (Red or Gold) /White paper table squares / Paper Plates /Serviettes (Red or Gold) /Plastic/wooden Forks, Plastic/ wooden Spoons, Paper cups (Red, Gold or Green) /Crisps/ Pickled onions /Pickled beetroot /Tinned sandwich fillings e.g: tuna/ham/salmon/ Mince pies /Turkey Gravy Granules /Stuffing Mix/ Mint Sauce /Lemonade (2L)/ Orange (2L) /Cola (2L) /Schloer (any flavour) /Tinned chocolates /Christmas crackers /Festive table confetti.
His highlight of the year is going to see Jane and hand everything over- please help him carry this on this year.
