Grantham Scouts say thank you for supporting them

Malcolm Hall of Grantham & District Scout Association says…

Most sincere thanks to all the people of Grantham who supported this year’s Christmas Post
Campaign.

We delivered just over 7,500 cards, fewer than 2023. All of the money raised by this
effort will go the benefit of local boys and girls in Scout Groups in the District.

The campaign brings together a great many people in the organising, sorting and delivering of
the cards.

Our grateful thanks must go to the businesses who acted as our ‘post offices’, the
parents of the boys and girls who deliver the cards, and to the Scouts Active Support team and
their families, who collect and sort the cards and help in so many ways.

Normally each year we have a number of wrongly or badly addressed cards, the delivery of
which tests our ingenuity, but this year we have none!

Finally, a plea for FULL and CLEAR addresses (preferably correct) on all cards, and again,
please, ONLY WITHIN OUR DELIVERY AREA. We have this year made it clear that we will
not be able to post or hand deliver cards which were not for addresses within our advertised
delivery area.

The cards have been retained and these will be available to collect from the
Scout Shop, which is at the 2 nd Grantham HQ on Broad Street, Grantham, on Saturdays from
10 – 12 noon, until the end of January. Postcodes would be useful as an aid to searching for
addresses if necessary.

We have cards for addresses in Frieston, Fulbeck and Welby. There are also cards for
addresses in Aslockton, Compton, Berks; and Lightwater, Surrey. If anyone thinks they may
have sent a card to an address in any of the above, please call at the Scout Shop or email
chairman@granthamscouts.org.uk

Once again, many thanks from the Scouts of Grantham and District.

You
