SAC Gill
Lindsay from RAF Lyneham has been gathering up her shoes
for the Blue Peter
Shoe biz Appeal and is keen to get everyone else involved.
Already she has a shoe-per collection and is very keen
to get more.
Senior Aircraftman (Technician) Gill Lindsay (21), works
on 24/30 Squadron Engineering Line at RAF Lyneham and was
watching Blue Peter with a friend when they advertised
for the Shoebiz
Appeal. She felt she needed to help and
wanted to get everyone else at Lyneham involved too. She
thought that after the Christmas Sales, people are bound
to have a clearout of their old shoes to make room for
new ones in their wardrobes and the Shoebiz
Appeal would
be the best place for these old performers.
To be an official collection point for the Appeal, Gill
must collect at least 100 pairs of shoes from RAF Lyneham.
Shoe boxes have been deposited in various locations around
RAF Lyneham, including the HIVE, which is accessible to
the public. Can you help? Any
type of shoes can be deposited including trainers, flip
flops and high heels as long as
they are
in pairs and don’t have any holes in them.
Captain Brad Braddock, Junior Engineering Officer and
Gill’s Flight Commander said, "Gill consistently
has an outgoing demeanor and is always keen to help others
when ever needed. The Shoe biz
appeal is right up her alley and I'm sure that she's up
for the challenge."
The money raised by Blue Peter after they have recycled
the shoes will be used to build Children’s Corners
in Malawi for children orphaned by parents who have died
from Aids. The appeal will be running up until August,
but Gill will be collecting up until the end of February.
