VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

URGENT !!! – THE CARE VAN NEEDS YOUR HELP !

CARE VAN 

Driver needed for Care Van

We need an occasional driver for one of our teams.  This would involve collecting the van from Bethany premises in Jane Street and driving it on a set route via Waverley Bridge and the Grassmarket, setting off around 8.30pm and arriving back around 10.30pm.  It would be on the first Wednesday of the month – but only every other month so just a few times a year. Training can be provided.  Sandra Nicol will be happy to provide more information to anyone who can help.
Thank you, Sandra

Could you spare a few hours a week to make a real difference in Leith?
At Edinburgh Northeast Foodbank, we believe that good food should be accessible to all and that food poverty is an injustice. Working in partnership with four Church of Scotland congregations and Trussell, we provide emergency food and compassionate support to local people in crisis.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED PLEASE SEE OUR WEBSITE FOR DETAILS  http://larch.org.uk

LITTLE LARCH NUSRERY
www.littlelarchnursery.com

Please remember the Nursery if you are splitting shrubs or have any spare plants.   

We have a large perimeter fence and we want to make it more attractive to our neighbours by having some colour, and encourage more wildlife for the children.

I am happy to collect.
