spilldig   176 #13 Posted November 26, 2015 It's not something we are involved in spilldig. Sorry. Maybe ask at Hallam FM, just with it saying Hallam they might have heard. BB.  Already tried bluesbrother, but nothing on their website. I hope you have more luck than me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Parapou   10 #15 Posted November 26, 2015 Foodbanks really appreciate some extra treats like this for clients and particularly children at Christmas.....  Hillsborough S6 and Crookes Foodbank, based at St Thomas Philadelphia Network Church mentioned above  http://sheffields6.foodbank.org.uk  Details of Foodbanks across Sheffield.  http://www.sheffieldfoodbank.org.uk/   Look out for collections in many supermarkets first weekend in December.

bluesbrother   10 #16 Posted November 26, 2015 Thanks everyone, Great idea from Melly07, she followed it up for us and they are collecting 50 calendars. I did a final count earlier and we had 669 of them donated... Then more arrived! So we are still looking to donate around 300 more, Please ask around for me or spread the word around social media, as I will be busy all day tomorrow delivering to the food banks that we have managed to contact.

Bizzy_Lizzy   10 #17 Posted November 26, 2015 Have you contacted the food bank at High Green, the one run by Maureen Greaves? Im sure she has plenty of contacts with also being part of the local church groups? Perhaps the childrens hospital? im sure many of the ill/sick children in there would be greatful of an advent calendar and im sure purchasing one is on the very last of the parents minds.

nanoffive   10 #18 Posted November 27, 2015 Hi bluesbrother. Can't help you on this I'm afraid, but have you any idea what's happened with the Hallam cash for kids. Every year I have bought new toys and taken them to a collection point but this year I can't find a collection point. Nothing on the net?  Article in last night's Star, about Hallam cash for kids----"To find a gift drop-off point --visit http://www.hallamfm.co.uk/mission. Hope that helps.

Mcduff   10 #19 Posted November 27, 2015 Hi! Not sure if this is still valid, but I work for Burngreave foodbank and we would be very grateful for any donations of advent calenders if there are still some going. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
bluesbrother   10 #20 Posted November 27, 2015 Hi Mcduff, we have around 80 calendars left, If you could get someone to pick some up for you from The Royal Standard, St Marys Rd. Unfortunately my car has just broken down as I was delivering them around earlier, so I am now unable to drop them off. Let me know if this suits you. BB.
