This week’s THANK YOU goes to 10 year old Millie, who selflessly opted for donations to Packed with Smiles rather than presents for her 10th birthday party last month. In doing so, Millie raised an amazing £265 which will be going directly towards helping our PWS families 💛💙
Shout out and big thank you to our local Southend @waitrose who have selected Packed with Smiles as one of their green token charities for August! As part of their Community Matters scheme, £1,000 is shared between three local causes, and we are one of the 3 💙 #ThankYouWaitrose
Unfortunately due to the forecast today, the @saltwater_111 SUP social paddle is having to be postponed - we will let you know as soon as we have a new date! 🌊💙
A big shout out to @saltwater_111 who have continued to support us by creating these beautiful keyrings with some of the profits donated directly to us 💛 Their SUP club have also arranged a socially distant social paddle this coming Monday 27th from around 5pm - come join us!
Even during lockdown we were truly humbled with the ongoing support from those around us. A special thank you to Lucy Lowry & @DaviesFdn for the incredible £750 charitable grant, which will be used over the coming weeks for the new uniform parcels for the upcoming academic year!
