Gifts in Kind
Help SAVI by giving new unwanted items or antiques or by giving your time, to help get the money in!
From time to time everyone receives a gift they do not want. It might be a Christmas or Birthday present or perhaps a raffle prize. Everyone buys an item they think is perfect at the time, only to realise later that it was not what they really wanted, but it is too late to exchange it.
Help SAVI by donating these items for us to sell or raffle.
At SAVI we have regular raffles at events, and of course at Christmas. One of our staff organises a Silent Auction event each year. We are always looking for gifts and prizes for these. Items which are new and perfect, still boxed and unopened make excellent prizes either on their own or as part of a hamper or gift box. Antique items you are not fond of, when sold through auction, bring in valuable funds.
Do you have a couple of hours a week to spend in your local area?
Across the county SAVI has collection boxes in shops, pubs, restaurants and many other places where the public meet or visit. The boxes need to be exchanged when they are full, or nearly full, so that the money can be put to good use quickly. Areas in need of Box Co-ordinators are Reigate/Redhill/Horley and district, Woking, the West of Guildford Borough and Farnham/Ash/Haslemere area. Mileage of 40p/mile is paid plus parking expenses re-imbursed.
Contact the Community Fundraiser if you have time to give or if you have any items to donate and she will arrange to have them collected from you . THANK YOU.
