🎅 Yes, we know it’s only August… but Christmas sleigh season will soon be here! 🎄
This evening, Plymouth Round Table members are getting together to give our Christmas sleigh a full inspection — checking the electrics, lights and everything else to make sure it’s all up and running well ahead of our December collections.
🔋 A big shout-out and thank you to Plymouth Battery Centre, who have kindly loaned us a battery for the day so we can power everything up and give the sleigh a proper test. Support like this from local businesses really does help us keep things going. 👏
Every year, our sleigh heads out around Plymouth for around two weeks, bringing a bit of Christmas cheer to local communities while raising money for local charities and good causes. ❤️
And while we’re getting organised, we could do with a little more help from the Plymouth community…
🍬 SWEETIE SPONSOR WANTED!
We’re looking for a local business that would be willing to sponsor or supply the sweets we hand out to children along our sleigh routes. We’ll make sure our sponsor gets plenty of recognition in return!
🚙 COULD YOU LOAN US A TOW VEHICLE?
We’re also looking for a suitable vehicle with a tow hitch that we could use for the duration of our approximately two-week sleigh collections.
This could be a local garage, dealership, business or even a private individual. Ideally, we need something where we can insure a small number of our members to drive it, or where an appropriate open-driver policy can be arranged.
Having a reliable tow vehicle available throughout the collections would be a massive help and allow our volunteers to concentrate on getting the sleigh around Plymouth and raising as much money as possible.
If you can help with sweets, a vehicle, or know somebody who might be able to, please drop us a message.
🎄 December might feel a long way off… but the work behind the scenes starts now!
Please give this a share — you never know who might be able to help. 🎅🚙🍬
