So what's it about?
We are taking advantage of the time you all have in lockdown by asking you to help support three great causes. By cleaning out your cupboards, getting crafty and packaging your items in a bag or box, the members of Alnwick Round Table will come and collect the bags of donated items, and pass them straight on to the below causes. Ensuring social distancing and safe collections, we will pass your unwanted or crafted items on safely.
Why Now?
We have found that a lot of the local charities like Lions and Rotary are currently self isolating to protect themselves. As Round Table members we want to support the local community and allow those who are unable to donate to the below causes due to restrictions, can do so from their home.
We have noticed a rise in the sale and give away of items on local sales and wants groups, and want to help support some great people and causes below to either see out COVID-19, or be ready to go back to business when lockdown restrictions are removed.
We are risk assessing what we are doing and ensuring we are maintaining all the correct social distancing, whilst making sure some of the tablers get a fair amount of exercise walking around the town collecting the donation bags, we need to work these lockdown guts off somehow!
We expect and request not to make any contact with those donating, purely collecting the donations bags/boxes from a visible place at the end of the donators driveway.
