BT awards - volunteer tony king
Volunteer Tony King, who has joined the charity on two summer trips, applied for an award from BT for his volunteering commitments with TEECH. The People Award scheme run by BT, allows employees to be recognised and awarded Tony £700 which goes straight to the charity and will be a great help to next summer's project. Donations We would also like to thank Stewart Maddison for his donation of time and labour, which resulted in the person he was helping, making a donation to TEECH. |
TEECH purchase new van....thanks to 'orwell truck and van'
Following negotiations TEECH have purchased a newer van for the charity from Orwell Truck & Van of Colchester. The previous van continually had problems to a point where a lot of money was going to be spent on maintaining it for the long journeys it under took each year. Orwell provided a discount and part exchanged the previous van. The purchase was not without a lot of hard work raising funds to cover the cost.
Packing dates
6th December 2014 for those who can make it. Loading of the lorry for Christmas will be on the 20th December.
The next newsletter will now be in January following the Christmas trip.
