Every year we see more and more effects that the rising costs of living have on families in our communities. We are very blessed in Bognor Regis to be living in a town that has many groups and organisations who give out toys and Christmas presents to families who are in need.
Therefore, we have decided in recent years to provide something a little different for the families that we work with. Partnering with Family Support Work, we provide family experience vouchers to those we support throughout the year. Families do not always need, or want more toys, but really appreciate opportunities for family time and making memories together.
As a result, we are asking for vouchers for local business and experiences which our families can enjoy. Previously we have been able to provide vouchers for the Picturedrome, Pinks Ice-Cream Parlour, Seafront Min-Golf, Little Piggies and the Christmas Ice Rink.
Together, The Salvation Army and FSW are looking for the support of our community, asking if you would be willing to purchase a £10 voucher / family pass from one of the above establishments to donate to our families. To make the gift a bit more ‘Christmassy’, we also provide a small gift bag with around 6-7 items of festive food in which we are able to place the voucher and give to a family.
If this is something that you can help us with, then please let us know at bognor.regis@salvationarmy.org.uk or on 01243 870243 so that we can provide you with some empty hamper bags and the instruction leaflets for you. Thank you
