The Castle Mall shopping centre are looking for volunteers to provide the its seasonal gift wrapping service which will raise money for Star Throwers in the run up to Christmas.
The Castle Mall raised over £6,000 last year so by getting into the festive spirit and donating a couple of hours of your time, you will be helping raise money which will be used to provide care and support to people affected by cancer throughout Norfolk.
Star Throwers has just passed its fourth year of supporting cancer patients and their families. We provides a haven for those who have been diagnosed with cancer and those closest to them, when they are at their most vulnerable. In a welcoming, homely environment, those who attend are able to receive medical advice to help them understand all aspects of cancer treatment and options. Practical and emotional support is available whether it is for someone living with cancer, or caring for someone close to them. Complementary therapies are also provided, including yoga, massage, Reflexology, counselling and arts and crafts to promote wellbeing.
Vicky Merrison, marketing manager at Castle Mall said, "We are very grateful to those who give up their time at this busy time of year to join our charity gift wrapping service and help raise a considerable amount of money for a fantastic cause. You don't need to be an 'expert gift wrapper', just have plenty of enthusiasm and a festive smile!"
If you are not able to volunteer, why not support Star Throwers by using the service and having your gifts wrapped. All donations will go directly to the charity.
The gift wrapping service will be available from 9th December right up until Christmas Eve, outside the Norwich City football club shop on the first floor of the shopping centre.
