Please Nominate us...

If anyone is going into Southend Waitrose in the near future, please could you nominate 'Little Acorns Southend SCBU Support group' to take part in the Community matters scheme.

For those that dont know what it is, basically Waitrose donates £1000 per month to 3 charities / causes, and when you shop there your given a green token, and its up to you which one you pick. Then they tally the tokens up and split the money accordingly.

As Little Acorns is a new group, we need all the money we can get via donations / fundraising and something like this could really help us to provide extra support for parents in Southend SCBU.

On my 'wish list':- More breastpumps (hand held and electronic), a better tv for the parents room, Some comfortable chairs for parents when they are holding their baby (especially those on ventilators), Some signs for some of the rooms to make it more obvious to people what the rooms are (Breastfeeding room, milk kitchen etc..)

All of this as you can appreciate - isnt going to come cheap, plus there are basic running costs of a group.

If you'd be happy to nominate us, then all you need to do is get a form from Waitrose, fill it in and hand it back - you'll need my details to go on it, (just drop me a line and I can let you know).

I really would appreciate it if we could get as many nominations as possible, the more we get, the better chance we have.

Thanks xxx
