MEMBERS of Tavistock Trefoil Guild recently visited the ShelterBox headquarters in Helston and presented the charity with a cheque for more than £1,000. The group has been raising money for the charity over the past year with a series of events. A total of £1,087 was collected — enough to cover the cost of two boxes. Members enjoyed an informative guided tour and a presentation explaining how the organisation operates in advance of, and during, an emergency call. The contents of a ShelterBox include a tent for ten people, thermal blankets and ground sheets, a practical tool kit, cooking equipment and water containers. The Trefoil Guild is a section of girlguiding and members meet once a month. New members are welcome. For more information call Sheila Bromidge on 01822 854270.
