Greg contacted us to say he would like to organise a bag pack (spending a day in a supermarket and helping people pack their bags in return for a donation). He got his friends involved but felt he didn’t have enough people so we put an appeal out on Facebook for local volunteers and lots of people turned up to help pack bags.

The day was successful and the buckets seemed heavy, but when it was all counted up it turned out the day was very successful – they had raised £800 in one day!!

Bag packs require very little organisation, just permission for the supermarket, buckets (we can provide them) and people willing to give up a few hours of their time. We can also help to find some volunteers in your area who might be able to help.

A big thank you to all the bag packers and generous shoppers – the £850 created a huge amount of smiles.

Greg and his fellow bag packers!
