Please help us to help others at Christmas. Ross High RFC is collecting on behalf of the Pennypit Community Development Trust are working hard to make sure families, children and individuals don’t go with out at Christmas. All donations are distributed around Musselburgh, Prestonpans and Tranent.
Support is provided in the way of a Christmas dinner, gifts for children and New Years dinners.
The Pennypit supports families living in Musselburgh, Prestonpans and Tranent but they couldn’t do it, without the amazing support of our communities.
They are also collecting, selection boxes, toys for kids (all ages). Teenagers seems to be the most in need though.
More information can be found on their website https://www.pennypittrust.com/festive-provision
Suggested Items to drop off at Ross High RFC are:
Toiletries, Chopped Tomatoes, Cereal, Stock Cubes, Gravy Granules, Chocolate, Biscuits/Shortbread, Selection Boxes, Tea/Coffee, Pasta & Pasta Sauce, Dried Lentils and Tinned Soup/Meals.
Thank you for taking the time to read this rather long email.

Sincere Festive Wishes to you, your families and friends.
