As from September 1st Mustard
Seed Jersey will no longer accept any general relief aid. This is to enable the
volunteers to concentrate on processing the accumulated aid and then to focus
on the Christmas shoeboxes - details available on those in September.
Up until the end of October we
will accept hand knitted items (just hand knitted blankets also hats and
scarves that our supporters knit for the Christmas shoeboxes).
We anticipate accepting general
aid again in January 2021 but that decision may be reviewed in light of the
present uncertainty with Covid 19 and the implications of the Brexit deal
arrangements after December 31st.
Any remaining relief aid that the
generous public want to donate should be delivered up the stairs to the packing
loft at Cardiff House, La Ruette du Coin Varin, St. Peter JE3 7EJ before the
end of August.
We do very much thank the public for
their support. And now we trust they will understand and support us in our
decision to accept no general humanitarian aid from September to December. We
hope too they will support our Christmas shoebox appeal to be launched next
month.
