Festive Appeal

Can you help them make up ‘winter wellbeing’ packs for their clients?

They said “it would be amazing to have winter self-care packs we can hand out across East Lothian, to help people through the dark nights and potentially lonely times.  These would include a variety of items, such as quick and easy soup recipes, hand warmers, a book, and a candle, among others.

How you could help:

Could you print these cards? Printing of cards £25 for 100 (50 of each)

Could you donate a book?

Other items:

  • Handwarmers £1 a pack
  • Hot chocolate sachet £1 a pack
  • Candle £3 a pack
  • Printing of cards £25 for 100 (50 of each)
  • Bags £15 for 50

We hope to distribute 50 packs at the event. The total cost is £290.

Ideally, we would love to hand out 100 packs. Total cost £580.
