Spanish Sun Christmas Present Appeals

Jan from the Spanish Sun is looking for help to give children in care lovely presents this Christmas, here’s her message:

The Spanish Sun has started it’s annual appeal to buy the children in care their dream presents for Christmas. This year the nuns have asked if they can also give us a list of children who are not in care, but the nuns know that they will not be receiving any Christmas presents.

We are asking local businesses and people if they can help. If you could do any of the following:

1. Help by selling raffle tickets for our Christmas raffle.

2. Donate a prize to the raffle, this could be a voucher to spend in your business, an actual prize, a bottle of something to go in the hamper we are making.

3. Buy a present for a specific child.

4. Make a donation towards one of the larger presents.

5 Buy some raffle tickets (This can be done via internet)
