We will spend the afternoon, supporting the Linx Youth Project wrapping their collection of donated toys from Cash4Kids. Wrapping, sorting, making up hampers and making sure these are ready for children to receive who may not receive any other toys or gifts this Christmas. 

 

There will be access to tea and coffee to help keep us busy elves going. 

 

The taxi back to campus will then be booked for 3:45pm, arriving back to campus at 4pm.
