Can you help us?

For the past two years we’ve had an amazing time helping the children in Shrewton school choose a small gift for someone important in their lives. Each child chooses a gift and writes a tag, and then we wrap all the parcels up, and the children take their gift home at the end of term to give to their loved one at Christmas.

We are very excited to be expanding our gifting at Christmas event to Tilshead School and to GUL this year. Any leftover gifts, tags, wrap etc. then can go into our pantry on the ‘present shelf’ during the last weeks of December.

As you can imagine, we need to provide a large range of small gifts to make this work! In all this year we will need around 200 items.

They can be for adults or children, though in the main we prefer things for adults (mum, dad, grandparents)

The following are always popular:
• Treats (no alcohol)
• Gadgets (no knives!)
• Books
• Toiletries
• Small games
• Trinkets- e.g. picture frames, candle holders, candles
• Small children’s crafts/toys
This is the perfect moment to re-gift anything you really don’t need…

If you are able to donate items for our collection we’d love to receive them (at The Rectory, please). If you don’t have anything, but would like to make a donation so we can purchase gift wrap and tape, and any small gifts, please do use our pantry QR code.

When? Well, our first gifting event is on 6th December, and our last will be about 10 days later. So anytime that works for you. THANK YOU!

St Mary’s Church, Shrewton, will be hosting a Christmas Tree Festival on
Friday 6th December to Saturday 7th from 10.00am to 6.00pm with Carols around the trees on the Saturday at 4.00pm.

Our aim is to involve as many organizations/groups /families/individuals as possible, and to bring us all together at this special time, I will contact as many groups as possible in October, but please contact me if you would like to participate.

We are looking for helpers to man the coffee/tea station on these two days and contributions towards this would be welcome.

We will have a Christmas Tombola, and donations for this would also be very gratefully received.
For more information and to participate in anyway please contact Gay Jennings-Bramly directly or email  parishoffice@salisburyplainbenefice.com.
