TCI Giving Tree 2017

Christmas for many of us, is a time for love, joy, happiness and connection.

We understand that this isn't the case for everyone, and that Christmas can be one of the most difficult times of year for some of Melbourne's more vulnerable or less fortunate.

Every year, there is an increase of homelessness, poverty and hardship for many Australians. There are also a large number of women continuously subject to domestic violence and abuse whom we recognise and want to help.

Christmas for us is an opportunity to really 'give back' to the world and touch the hearts of those who need it most.

We have just finished setting up our 'Giving Tree' for Christmas here at The Coaching Institute Headquarters in Melbourne!

And we would love to invite all students and members of the community to donate a gift that will make someone's Christmas that little bit extra special.

Each year, we take the opportunity during Christmas to give back to those in real need, those who are most vulnerable and less fortunate.

This year we would love to make Christmas special and extend our Christmas cheer to The Sacred Heart Mission in St Kilda Victoria.

Here's how you can join us and be a part of our Christmas mission this year:

How to make a donation:

You could either deliver a gift by chimney drop (aka up the stairs to the TCI Giving Tree)...

Or via Santa’s sleigh (aka Australia Post to THE COACHING INSTITUTE SUITE 40 37/39 ALBERT RD, MELBOURNE 3004).

Make sure to drop or send your gifts before Thursday, 14th of December at 5pm so that all the gifts will make it to The Sacred Heart Mission in time for Christmas!

We spoke to the Sacred Heart Mission and asked what would be the most helpful gifts this year, and this is what was requested:

Gift request #1 is: $20 gift cards so they get to choose what gift they would like to receive or give to their children

Gift request #2 is: 100 Stocking Fillers including chocolates, pens, notebooks and toiletries

Gift request #3 is: Christmas food for their kitchen such as UHT custard, orange juice, Gravox, cranberry sauce, raspberry jelly, lemonade, ginger beer, raspberry cordial, fruit salad in juice and mince pies

Gift request #4 is: Christmas themed shirts, perfumes and aftershave for their Aged Care residents (male and female); as well as regular donation of new clothing for them

Note: Clothing is challenging (unless via vouchers) as sizes will need to be matched with individuals

You can make a donation anytime before Thursday, 14th of December at 5pm!

We request that any donations of gifts are either not wrapped, or if wrapped they are clearly marked with what is inside, so that gifts are distributed fairly.

Anything you choose to contribute no matter how big or small will have a massive impact this Christmas.

So we thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity at this time, your gifts will literally transform the worlds of many, even just for a moment.

If you have any other questions you can give us a call on 1800 094 927.

Let's bring a big beautiful collective energy to delivering WOW to where it's needed most!
