James, Ellie and I were in Walcot on Saturday to help the guys at Christmas for CAMHS. CAMHS is a small charity that sends hundreds of gift parcels to children throughout the UK in mental health hospitals who unfortunately cant be at home over the Christmas period.
The task was simple: fill and pack as many bags of gifts as possible in 3 hours with the aim of cheering up the Christmas for around 1500 children in hospital! Each hospital required a unique set of presents for different ages and genders of children, with Ellie and I tasked with going through each hospital's requests and filling the bags accordingly. Once these bags had been checked and supplied with wrapping paper, James was responsible for securely packaging each box ready for delivery!
We had a really enjoyable afternoon and it felt as though we were part of a really beneficial project. I look forward to returning to help next year!.
