Heart of Salford Fundraising Event appeal
Hearts of Salford are holding a fun fundraising event on Friday 24th February; Bag Packing at Sainsbury's supermarket on Regent Road in Salford.

They are looking for willing volunteers to help out on the day to make this event a success.

The Heart of Salford Awards take place every year and are a very important event for the City of Salford. It is at this event that we get to say a massive 'thank you' to all the volunteers in Salford who selflessly give their time and effort to make our City a better place to live - where we get to see all our home grown unsung heroes get the recognition they deserve.

Volunteers get nominated in various categories, with everyone receiving a signed certificate from the Mayor of Salford, and the winners of each category receive a special cut glass trophy for them to keep.

Unfortunately, due to funding cuts, we have had to scale this event back in recent years, and it is more than likely funds will be cut again this year, so please if you have a couple of hours to spare, pop along and help us Bag Pack to raise money to keep this event up and running.

They are holding this event to coincide with National Student Volunteering Week to raise awareness of student volunteering, hopefully we will get lots of them coming along and helping us.

They need as many volunteers as possible. They have 10 tills to cover and are at Sainsburys from 10.00am till 4.00pm and would like volunteers to Bag Pack for a 2 hour slot if possible, but any help will be greatly appreciated.

If you or any of your organisations volunteers are interested in getting involved in this event please contact me elizabeth.oconnor@salfordcvs.co.uk
to arrange times etc.
