We are Target Who and reaching Nottingham schools proved
more challenging than first anticipated!
Previously on the Blog I reported how Hays Education in
Birmingham was helping us spread books around their local schools and had
passed on details of our project to other offices around the country. I have spoken to several Hays Office Managers
in the last few months and in the weeks ahead I will report on the help and
assistance they have given us.
Most recently I spoke to the wonderful Tanya Walker in Nottingham
who was delighted to help our project. I once lived in Nottingham, so was I especially
keen to spread some books around their schools, but how to get them there? We needed help.
I contacted Chris Berezai, who had previously helped us
to deliver books, and whom I knew lived in the Nottingham area. He immediately offered to help and a rendezvous
was arranged to pass him the books as he travelled past Gloucester.
What we didn’t realise was that Nottingham City Centre has
a pedestrian zone, and the Hays office was firmly inside it! Vehicle access is only allowed before 7.00am,
so when Chris tried to deliver the three heavy boxes, he was unable to get
anywhere near! Now Chris also needed
help - and it was his friend Mark Hackett that provided it. Thanks Mark.
The books have now safely been delivered to the Hays
office where Tanya Walker, Yos Iwanczuk and Nigel Barkley have already started
delivering them to schools in their area.
We are Target Who and our books are now starting to
appear in Nottinghamshire school libraries thanks to the help of our new
friends.
Target Who would like to thank Chris Berezai, Mark Hackett, Tanya
Walker, Yos Iwanczuk and Nigel Barkley for helping us reach the school libraries
in Nottinghamshire.
