Make a child eggstra happy this Easter!

Wood Street Mission Easter Egg Project 2011 - donations invited by 6 April

Once again, Wood Street Mission will be handing out Easter eggs to children at Easter. Last year, the University collected 450+ Easter eggs which were purchased by members of staff, in addition to monetary donations and other Easter confectionery. Your support has been tremendous throughout the year and we hope that this year’s Easter Project will be as successful as in 2010.

To avoid having Easter eggs left over after Easter, Wood Street ask that any Easter confectionery and/or donations are with them by 8 April 2011. This is the date on which the van will collect them from Sackville Street, so I must receive them by 6 April at the latest and arrangements can be made for them to be collected.

If anyone wishes to give a financial contribution towards the Project, this would help them pay for the extra van collections that will be required to collect all the eggs!

If you wish to give an Easter egg(s) or make a financial donation, please contact:

• muriel.shingler@manchester.ac.uk or 0161 306 2523

If you are not already a member and are interested in supporting Wood Street Mission throughout the year, why not join other colleagues and become a member of the Wood Street Mission Lottery which is drawn every month. Please contact me if you would like further information and an application form.   

Thank you once again for your continued support.
