The Snow Queen: A festive play for refugee children in Govan
I am writing to ask for your support for an event aiming to bring a bit of festive cheer in chilly mid-winter to refugee and asylum seeking families in Govan, and hopefully raise a bit of money for people who find themselves homeless and absolutely destitute in Glasgow at a very hard time of year.
The Snow Queen: A festive play for refugee children in Govan
Community InfoSource, a not-for-profit co-operative working with community groups in Glasgow , is getting together with Theatre Modo, an award winning Glasgow-based theatre company, to put on a free performance of their play for 4-7 year olds, The Snow Queen.
A party for the children and their parents will follow the performance, which will be at the Pearce Institute in Govan on Thursday 22nd December.
To help make this event special for the children, we are asking for donations to cover costs. In total, costs for the whole event including the play and the party will work out at about £10.00 per child (around 50 children are expected to attend, with parents.) You can sponsor a child, make a smaller or larger donation, or donate in kind (food, children’s gifts etc – please contact first).
If you would like more information, please contact Michael at Community InfoSource on 0141 586 8035, or email michael@communityinfosource.org.uk. To make a donation, please send a cheque, made payable to Community InfoSource Limited (and on the reverse marked “snow queen”), to:
Community InfoSource
Unit 301, 355 Byres Road
Glasgow G12 8QZ
Any surplus funds raised will be donated to registered charities supporting destitute asylum seekers in Glasgow .
Yours faithfully,
Michael Collins
Director, Community InfoSource
