Christmas shoe box appeal
Posted: 25 Sep 2013 19:36
We are starting a Christmas shoe box appeal, in conjunction with our Amazon Christmas wish list. All items donated through either the shoe box appeal or the Amazon wish list appeal will be collected up and shared out amongst our rescues and sanctuaries, and the parcels will be sent out to them at the beginning of December this year so they can make use of the items at or before Christmas.
I have attached a photo of a small box of suitable items for our Rescues to receive. If you would like to have a look at the items on our Amazon wish list for some other ideas here is the link:- http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/registry/reg ... e=wishlist
If you would like to donate a few items for the shoe box appeal, they don't actually have to be sent in a shoe box, you can send them in a jiffy bag. Don't forget some of our Rescues have guinea pigs too and a few even have other small furry animals here are examples of some of the type of things you could send in toys, willow toys, throw toys, dried herbs, treats, your donation can also include general things that all our rescues use lots of i.e. rubber gloves, disposable gloves, cotton wool, cotton wool buds, bin bags, hibiscrub, Sudocrem, kitchen roll, Panacur, etc. If you aren't sure if an item would be suitable or not just post on this thread and ask us
Please note Royal Mail prices have gone up considerably this year the cheapest way to send a small parcel to us is by 2nd class small parcel which costs £2.60 but to send your parcel for this price it must weigh LESS than 1kg, the maximum length of the parcel is 45cm, maximum width is 35cm and maximum depth is ONLY 8cm
If your parcel is too big in dimensions to send for the £2.60 price the next cheapest way to send a parcel is online by Myhermes, with them you can send a much bigger sized parcel (bigger than a shoe box) and it can weigh upto 2KG for only £4.20 you can pay by Paypal or credit/debit card online and have the parcel collected from your house or you can drop it off at a nominated collection shop (such as OneStop).
To save on your postage costs how about sending some dried herbs, cotton wool, small bags of treats (rabbit or guineapig) in a jiffy bag? All donations however big or small will be very much welcomed by our Rescues and their animals Thank you
If anyone would like to send a donation please can you send me a PM for my address for your parcel. Thank you
