DHL eCommerce event supports Guy’s Gift

On Thursday 27th February, we were invited to attend the launch of DHLs new eCommerce hub in Coventry.

Brian and Lisbeth attended the event, and met with many customers of DHL, and were able to share about what Guy’s Gift does in our local community, and why bereavement support for children and young people is so vital.

We met lots of interesting people, and were able to talk about Guy’s Gift mission as well as getting some lovely offers of support from local businesses.

As part of the event, DHL have donated 35 ‘e-Comm Eddy’ bears to Guy’s Gift. These bears will be finding their way to new homes with children and young people who we support.

We’d like to say a great big THANK YOU to Adam Webb and his team at DHL for supporting Guy’s Gift and inviting us along to the event last week.

Community support from Dunelm in Rugby

We were very excited to hear from Abi at Dunelm in Rugby recently, to let us know that Guy’s Gift have been put forward for their Delivering Joy Christmas project. If you’re not familiar with this project, you’ll find a Christmas Tree inside the Rugby branch of Dunelm. This Christmas Tree will contain lots of tags giving details of things local charities (Guy’s Gift included) need at the moment. As a customer, you can select one or more of the tags and purchase the items needed. Once you have the items the charity needs, you then drop them off at a collection point inside Dunelm. We then receive the items before Christmas, ready to use in support sessions with children and young people.

The tree is now up in store, so if you’re in the area we’d love it if you could head in to store and select one or more of our tags and donate the items listed.

We can’t tell you how much of a difference things like this make to small charities like Guy’s Gift, and every single donation makes a difference to the support we provide for children and young people dealing with the death of someone important to them.

Thank you to all involved in this brilliant project, and we look forward to seeing the donations at the end of the year.
