GEORGETOWN TODDLERS GET CRAFTY!

Toddlers from the Georgetown Methodist Church Parent and Toddler group had a nice surprise last Monday.
The group received a big box brimming with arts and crafts materials which included over 20 different colours of paint, glitter paints, paint brushes and glue spreaders.
Parent and toddler Group Leader Beverly Waller, was taken aback by the gift which was delivered by hand on Monday morning.
“I had no idea we would be receiving the box of craft supplies,” she said.
“We were busy getting on with our usual activities for the day when two ladies arrived with the box. They explained that they were from Sure and that they had come to give us a gift as part of Random Act of Kindness day. I couldn’t believe it. We are very thankful to them for their generosity and the children have had a great time getting crafty!”
Sure celebrated Random Act of Kindness day on 25th January, scientifically pin-pointed as the most depressing day of the year. The RAK team in Jersey spent the day surprising people across the island with various gifts and acts of kindness.
“The Georgetown arts and crafts donation was just one of the RAKs we performed on 25th January,” explained Steve Smith, Sure’s Head of Customer Propositions & PR.
“I am delighted to hear that the children have enjoyed the gift and that the group were able to feel the full impact of RAK day. It doesn’t take much to make someone’s day and we certainly made a lot of people smile. We hope that next year’s RAK day will be bigger and better with more and more local businesses and community groups getting involved.”
