NSPCC Childline Clothing Appeal

Wednesday, 9th June 2010 - Wednesday, 16th June 2010

As Asidua’s Charity of the Year we are encouraging you to help support the NSPCC by donating any spare clothing that you may have to the clothing appeal. 

Not only will you create some extra space, but if you donate any good clean clothing and unwanted items (shoes, bags, belts, blankets, curtains, bed linen etc) to the ChildLine Clothing Appeal, you’ll be able to help ChildLine raise funds to answer more calls from children and young people in distress.

Last year, over half a million children and young people called ChildLine, amounting to 2.7 million calls.  Many of them had to call more than once before they got through. Over two thirds (67 per cent) of calls did get answered by their switchboards.  However, of the children who then needed in-depth counselling, only 40 per cent received this service from one of their counsellors.

Asidua, supported by Linfield Properties, has extended this clothing appeal to all the tenants within Weavers Court Business Park in the hope of raising even more funds for the NSPCC Child Voice Appeal.

Please leave filled collection bags at the following drop off points from today:

• Unit 6 (opposite Courtyard Café)
• Unit 10 (Reception Lobby)

 

Additional collection bags are available from Unit 10 Reception and the final collection will be made at noon on Wednesday 16th June.  Please donate all that you can to this worthy cause and help give children, in desperate need, a voice.
