    An update for PRSC's School of Activism 2

    Jul 8 2020

    Dear generous people who donated to our School of Activism fundraiser back in the mists of time before Covid put everything on hold.

    I'm sorry it's taken us so long to get in touch but we are a small busy organisation and what with all the Covid changes you lovely people slipped through the gaps with everyone thinking someone else was talking to you.

    Anyway, thanks to your wonderful generosity, the PRSC can confidently plan to reschedule the School of Activism knowing that we have a £500 pot to cover workshop expenses, subsidised spaces and othe project needs. So thank you again!

    Some of you are going to be wondering where your gift bags are - don't worry, we haven't forgotten them, we have them prepared in our venue ready to send out.

    We were hoping to invite you to a thank you party where we could present you with the gift bags in person, but that's madness in this cimate, so here's our suggestion:

    If you can email events@prsc.org.uk and let us know your name and an address you want your prizes delivered to then we will cycle round Bristol delivering the gift bags by hand.

    Thank you very much.
    We are still really excited about the School of Activism and it will happen sooner or later.

  • Rewards/Merch

    An update for The Man Down Programme

    May 31 2020

    Hi all 

    There are still some people who have not responded to the message regarding sizes and colour of the rewards that they have bought. 

     

    If this is you then I am afraid you well need to await the next print run in a month, but please please please reply to me with your size/colour and full name and postal address. 

     

    If you live out of the UK then please ensure that you have also bought the 'International shipping reward' as well please or else we cannot ship to you. 

    It has been an extremely trying process, this platform does not permit you to add any details such as size, colour, and your address so I have had to go through and message people individually - I have then had to keep on top of this with a spreadsheet, and then pick the orders, pack then and address them with just my daughter. 

     

    There have been some inevitable mistakes on my behalf as I have had an awful lot to do outside of this. 

     

    We are moving all of our merch to our website very soon in the hope that this lightens the load. 

     

    Once again, thank you to everyone who has donated and bought rewards - we are nothing without you! 

     

    Please stay safe, follow your gut about the easing of the lockdown measures and do not put yourself at risk. 

    Love 

    Gemma

    An update for The Man Down Programme

    May 4 2020

    Hello all, 

     

    Firstly thank you so much for your patience. Sadly Covid-19 has affected our printing BUT the good news is we are about to put the orders through! It may take a couple of weeks for the hoodies/tees + plus I have to pack them up, and send them.

    Pin badges will take one month to arrive then I will pack them and send them. 

    Hats - 3-4 weeks from today plus postage and packaging time.

    This platform does not allow for sizes or colours (!) so can I please ask that anyone who has not given me their size/colour contact me on the email address below ASAP. 

    Can I ask that you all email me with your postal addresses as well please. 

    please email me directly: ladygemlo@protonmail.com

    size, colour, postal address and correct name for postage. 

    Only I will see this. 

    Best wishes and once again, thank you for your support and your patience. 

    Gemma
