Collection Tins - The Family Haven collection tins, which we distribute to shops, public houses and other establishments in and around Gloucester are providing additional income to our fundraising campaign. Trustees, Staff and JoJo Lingwood (one of our enthusiastic volunteers) collects them when full and replaces them with empty tins. In the financial year 2010-2011 we have raised £2148.00. If you know of a suitable establishment who would be willing to have one of our tins please give Carole Smith a call on 01452 528692.
