As Christmas is coming up fast, choosing a gift for someone can take time, effort and thought.
It depends on the occasion, the person and of course, the money in your purse or wallet.
And so many of us will have received gifts, which despite best efforts, have missed the mark, and which have remained unopened or unused.
Well, the team at Futureworks NY, will launch their Gift It appeal on Friday 1st November 2024 which will tick all the boxes on your Christmas Gifts list in time for the festive season.
It could be we have the perfect gift you’ve been looking for, and which has eluded you!
Our exciting initiative will help raise funds for the charity so they can help more people in the area.
Sarah, co-founder of Futureworks NY, says: “Many of us have items around which we’ve either received as gifts, or perhaps it was an impulse buy.
“Gift It is a ‘win win’ as it allows brand new, quality items to be donated which in turn will help others in the Scarborough area.
“This means you can donate a gift that perhaps isn’t required in a guilt free way.”
The Futureworks team will be showcasing their Gift It campaign at Scarborough Sparkle 29th November – 1st December which takes place at the Open Air Theatre in the town’s North Bay.
This popular Christmas event kicks off the festive season in Scarborough and is a great place to work your way down the Christmas shopping list, while helping raise funds for our charity, Futureworks NY.
Michelle, co-founder, says: “We welcome unwanted homewares, perfume, gifts, games, bottles, and vouchers.
“Items can be dropped off at two donation locations in Scarborough: Furniture Works at 39, St Thomas Street Scarborough, Monday to Saturday 10:00am – 4:00pm or at our office/workshop 40, Victoria Road, Scarborough, Monday to Friday 8:30am – 4:00pm.”
Futureworks provides support and guidance to vulnerable and disengaged individuals; young people aged 15+, providing holistic support as well as opportunities to develop experience, life skills and accredited qualifications.
The team works with economically inactive adults with the aim of moving them closer to employment, increasing social skills and reducing feelings of isolation for our local community in Scarborough.
We strive to encourage all ages to reach their potential through engagement, motivation, and support via alternative learning structures. The Gift It campaign will help raise funds so we can help more people to fulfil their goals.
