'ADOPT A JELLY BABY' WEEKEND

Adopt a Jelly Baby update

WHAT IS IT?

'Adopt a Jelly Baby' is the most exciting, productive and FUN opportunity 18 Plus has had in a long time. To help raise the profile of 18 Plus and Shelter, the general public will be asked to 'Adopt a Jelly Baby' or maybe a Jelly Baby Family. They wi1l be given a Certificate and an Adoption Number and must promise to look after their Jelly Baby and not to bite its' head off!

WHAT WILL IT INVOLVE?

The majority of the preparation will be done by myself with help from your Area PRO - and any other volunteers who come forward. The makers of Jelly Babies will be asked to donate the Jelly Babies, Certificates will be produced and venues wi1l be booked for 23rd/24th January 1999. As a Group, you will be required to turn up on the day, preferably in fancy dress, put the Jelly Babies up for adoption and have FUN.

The whole weekend is for 'Adopt a Jelly Baby'. As a Group, you could orgnaise your own event, maybe a fancy dress pub crawl / night club crawl, ask the local factories or colleges if they would let you use their canteen at lunchtime or enlist the help of your venue who may be willing to get involved.

WHO BENEFITS?

Shelter who help the homeless, 18 Plus and, of course, the Jelly Babies. The money raised will all be donated to Shelter. It is also hoped that the timing of the event will highlight the plight of the homeless during the winter months.

The profile of 18 Plus will be raised with publicity from local to national media. Your Group will benefit from the enquiries generated and you will benefit by joining in the fun that this sort of event generates with a bit of imagination.

NOTE:

This is the first National Scale Charity event for too long. All the work and preparation is being done by National and Area but it is up to you to make it work. With all of us pulling together, this can be a fun and successful weekend for all.

So, let's get out there and show the world what 18 Plus is all about!
