Christmas is a rime forgiving, the Independence charity trust plans to serve up a full Christmas dinner to the young vulnerable people who come through thier door. For many of these young people, this may be the only hot meal and company they will receive over the festive period.
They are also looking for charitable donations in order to give them the best possible Christmas.
These donations will be used for stockings so will need to be reasonably sized gifts of use. (eg:Toiletries,socks,sweets/chocolate,books,hair accessories ect..)
Donations can be dropped off at Independence Trust First Floor Offices, The Cross, Parliament Street, Stroud GL5 2HL (entry to the building is the wooden doors etc the right of the steps of the car park), or Trading Post Records, Kendrick Street, Stroud until December 23rd.
Alternatively, if you are looking for a project to begin in the new year why not offer your services as a volunteer. Do you have or know anyone with computer skills who could possibly put in a few hours a month to help build a website for this amazing charity? Or have you got the carpentry skills to be able to offer help, advice and a listening ear to those attending the carpentry group held at the men's shed?
Are you feeling blue and would like some support organising your own project to get you out of a slump?
Then get in touch with Stroud's independence charity trust and they would be more than happy to advise you on how to go about your next steps.
