You may well have seen pictures on the SDN website and read about us on Facebook and Twitter when we have been at the Princess Royal Hospital in Telford – the most recent occasion was on Friday 22 August and the final time this year will be on Thursday 27 November.
The purpose of being there is to raise awareness of SDN, recruit new members and raise some funds by selling items donated and made by our members.
A particular good seller are the baby clothes knitted by Margaret Willets.
Margaret, my wife Paula and myself are the main volunteers when SDN has a stand at the PRH and, between us, we are there from about 10:00 until at least 2:00 pm.
This is really too much for just three of us to manage – so we desperately need more volunteers to help out at the PRH and at any other events we have in the Telford area.
If you could give an hour at two at any event we have it would be much appreciated and would be a big help to SDN.
If you can help, please contact Ruby Hartshorn our Fundraising Lead by calling 07789 852 229 or emailing our admin address admin@shropshire-disability.net Watch out for the emails she sends out relating to each event & if you can offer even one hour we will be very pleased.
