Donations sought – “The Secret Garden works for the Secret Homeless”

This below is an email from the folks at Fallowfield Secret Garden. If you can help out, contact them at thefallowfieldsecretgarden@gmail.com

The Fallowfield Secret Garden  have  promised to deliver as many donations as possible to both the Booth Center and the Mustard Tree by the 22nd of December.  To do this we have started an appeal which you are free to contribute towards.

This appeal has already featured in the MEN (10.12.12 – pg.28. ‘The secret’s out as garden wins award [Manchester council’s ‘be proud’ award]’) and the South Manchester Reporter (13.12.12 – pg.12. ‘The secret’s out as community garden claims accolade’) with a follow up articles have been agreed in which major donors will receive mentions.

Currently our supporting organizations include;
City South Manchester who produce our leaflets and posters and promoting the appeal,
Salisbury’s Fallowfield who are making a donation, providing a collection box in-store and promoting the appeal,
Action for Sustainable Living  who promoting the appeal and providing one car,
Cirque du Manc who are promoting the appeal and providing one car.

If you are interested in contributing to our appeal, we have borrowed a list from the Booth Centro for items most needed (your typical everyday items);

  • Food – including fresh fruit, cheese, biscuits, cakes, tinned goods (ham, corned beef, stewing steak, tuna, dog food, custard, rice pudding, vegetables and fruit) and cook-in sauces.
  • Drinks – including tea, coffee, sugar, hot chocolate and cup-a-soups
  • Toiletries – particularly men’s razors, soap, deodorant, toothbrushes and toothpaste
  • Socks, hats and gloves

I have a attached our poster which will be displayed in the police and fire station, libraries, local shops, supermarkets and schools.   This

Our current draft press release to be amended is also attached for your interest.

We will come and pick up delivers from your location. Please let us know asap so we can fit you in the picking up slot.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.
