Stroud Valleys Project - Festive raffle is launched

Our raffle is our Christmas fundraiser, that time of year when we have some fun and win some prizes. We have a fantastic array of prizes for you this year, they are either kindly donated by Friends and supporters, or have an environmental theme and/or support our ethos of trying to be the best we can be from an environmental point of view.

Below you can see some of the prizes you can win, and by taking part you will be supporting our charity at the same time!

Coronavirus information from Stroud Valleys Project

Amid the developing coronavirus situation, we want to reassure you of the actions we are taking as a responsible charity and shop.

We have now closed the shop and office until further notice and we look forward to seeing you again as soon as possible.

Check back here to see when we can open again.

The health of our customers, our staff and our volunteers is our biggest priority. We are closely monitoring the guidance from Public Health England, the World Health Organisation and other bodies and endeavouring to follow their advice.

To help us achieve these aims we are making the following arrangements:

With regret and with immediate effect, we have SUSPENDED THE PACKAGING RECYCLING SCHEMES which operate in the shop and we apologise for inconvenience this will cause to our customers. We have recycled a ton of waste in the last year, so a big thank you to all involved in diverting this much waste from landfill.

PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE RECYCLING OUTSIDE OUR SHOP (as we won’t be here to deal with it)

We will regularly review the situation and post information here on our website and on our answerphone (01453 753358). Should you need to get hold of someone the answerphone will tell you how. Please don’t leave messages on the answerphone but use the numbers given on there to contact someone direct.

THANK YOU!

Our Volunteers Say

Quote

I've found the projects inspiring and I've developed skills I didn't know I had, to the extent that I am now able to find employment in new fields.

I will always be grateful to the staff and volunteers at Stroud Valleys Project for their encouragement and warm support.

Being involved with Stroud Valleys Project has been a great experience. I've enjoyed and learnt so much through various courses and volunteer projects I've worked on.

Thank you all at SVP for the help and support you have given me in the last couple of years, which has helped me to get my foot back on the ladder in the world of work.

I loved the course (Veg Growing), it was the highlight of my week

“Often I feel so bad I don’t want to do anything but after coming here, working with my group in the sunshine, I always feel more cheerful. They are my friends now.”

“Volunteering with SVP is the best thing that happened to me in my life.”

“I never thought I would get into gardening and growing stuff, but through all my work with SVP I have learnt to really appreciate nature.”

“We get lots of work done – and we have a laugh!”

“Our group is like pieces from a jigsaw puzzle. Everybody mucks in and does what they can, and the job gets finished in no time.”

“When somebody has a bad day, the others in the team make them feel better.”

“I learn lots of interesting things and I feel useful.”
