FREE HOT DRINK...
This Christmas, we're delighted to work with Family Support Work who help families in need throughout Sussex get back on their feet. Young teens are often overlooked at this time of year so we're asking you to grab a retail voucher when you're out shopping, or bring £notes, to pop in an envelope and hang on our tree. We'll provide you with an envelope, and you're welcome to add a personalised or seasonal message too. We'll convert all cash donations into vouchers, and all will be distributed in time for Christmas. Each and every donation throughout December will be entitled to a free hot drink with our compliments, so donate as often as you like! Together, we really can make a difference. www.familysupportwork.org
