The British Heritage Brand ‘Lavenham’ manufactures quilted horse rugs, quilted jackets and accessories in Sudbury, Suffolk.
Lavenham have recently launched a campaign to collect 1000 English Children’s Books that will be sent to the children in Japan who are still suffering from the effects of the Earthquake and Tsunami that happened last year.
Lavenham has made 1000 quilted book bags which have been named 'Happy Bags' which the collected books can be put in to and given to the children. 1000 English Children’s Books need to be collected, so far 500 books have been donated, but Lavenham needs your help to reach the target. If you have any unwanted children’s books old or new then please donate them to this campaign.
Nicky Santomauro, Managing Director of Lavenham will be visiting the children in Japan to hand out the book bags in June and November and there will be press coverage of the visits, Lavenham will ensure that any press coverage will include company/organisations that have so kindly donated and supported the campaign.
We hope to have collected the 1000 books by the end of May.
