Glad that there are other initiatives like this. I like shelter and trust that they are going to similar charities. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14023#post-173856 Fri, 28 Nov 2014 12:45:07 +0000 I were right about that saddle 173856@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>A good thought, ARobComp.</p> <p>My current employer has the excellent practice of asking CEC for a list of children known to their social services who will appreciate a gift. The list came with a two line biography for each child, some of which made me </p> <p>1) want to track down and assassinate the parents<br /> 2) tear up in the office</p> <p>Much better than well paid people buying each other unwanted tat. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14023#post-173853 Fri, 28 Nov 2014 12:23:57 +0000 ARobComp 173853@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I know that some of you work at businesses/other places of work, and that some businesses like to do random secret santa things that are a bit lame. Can I suggest that you ask your colleagues whether they'd consider doing the Shelter Scotland #SocialMediaSanta ? Or just get involved yourself! </p> <p><a href="http://blog.scotland.shelter.org.uk/2014/11/17/want-to-do-something-amazing-this-christmas/#more-1838" rel="nofollow">http://blog.scotland.shelter.org.uk/2014/11/17/want-to-do-something-amazing-this-christmas/#more-1838</a></p> <p>Basically<br /> Choose a gift for ages 0-18<br /> Send to shelter HQ or drop it into a nationwide bank (I think)<br /> Then shelter will make sure that it gets to a kid who would otherwise not recieve a present this year. </p> <p>We did it last year in our office, and have done so again, most giving presents they would have enjoyed themselves at that age (frisbee/football/art set) </p> <p>Just a thought! </p>
