The 2023 festive season is well and truly upon us, and that means Christmas promotions, gift wrapping galore, and plenty of mince pies and festive coffees from our cafes!
However, we know that this season especially will be difficult for many people in our community. It’s always an expensive time of year, but with the increased cost of living and wintertime heating bills to consider, there will be lots of families struggling to put a meal on the table this Christmas – never mind presents under the tree.
That’s why we’re excited to announce that this year, we will be running our own ASV Giving Tree supporting AberNecessities & ASV Community projects giving children the gift of sport.
If you want to take part - its so easy! Just follow the steps below
Our trees are decorated with labels that have items or donation values to fund projects that AberNecessities and ASV need.
You can take one label, two labels, or more - it's entirely up to you how much you donate. We just ask that if you take a label, you either purchase the items listed or return the label to the tree so somebody else can.
To donate items:
- Find a label (or a few) with items you can commit to buying and take it off the tree
- Purchase the items and return them, unwrapped, with the label attached. We have donation boxes at both of our reception areas
- Please make sure to return the items you've bought for donation by the date on the label!
- And that's it! ASV will arrange to bring the items to each charity
To donate money to an ASV Community project:
- Find a label with a donation link and QR code
- Either enter the link in your browser, or scan the QR code to be taken to the webpage
- You will be taken to a page set up by the charity. Follow the instructions on this page to make your donation
- Return the label to the tree so others can use the link to donate!
If you have any questions about our Giving Tree, please do speak with our customer service team at our aquatics or sports centre reception. And thank you for helping us make the festive season a bit more merry & bright for families throughout our community!
