Deliveries will be especially disrupted by industrial action affecting Royal Mail services on 14th, 15th, 23rd and 24th December.
In line with the latest information published by Royal Mail, we advise our UK supporters to order as early as possible - and certainly no later than Thursday 15th December - to be confident that your goodies will arrive before Christmas.
We recommend that our supporters based in EU countries order no later than Tuesday 15th December, as well as reading our shipping policy for more information on import duties before ordering.
Thanks as ever to all of you for your support this year, and warmest wishes from all the Seagulls for a safe and happy festive season x
]]>After that, the team's fully-booked with shows for our Festive Cheer Up until the end of the month. Any orders placed after Wednesday will be processed as soon as we're back in the warehouse in the new year.
On behalf of all the Seagulls team, thank you for all your support through a difficult year. We wish you our all our light and warmth and a safe holiday.
]]>Since the Covid crisis hit, we've delivered 80 socially-distanced shows to 1,600 children and families across the UK. Wherever you live, it's a sad reality that you don't have to look far to find children who are growing up without enjoying the full range of creativity, laughter and warmth that we believe every child deserves as the basics of a happy childhood. And we’re seeing already tough situations somehow get more difficult and less hopeful this year.
With a new lockdown, our projects are being rapidly reworked so we can safely resume our work in the UK - and also get back out to the refugee camps of Greece, where love, light and laughter are more desperately and urgently needed than they've ever been.
To help you keep playing through lockdown and to start building funds for relaunching our projects, we've put a 25% discount sale on everything in our shop for the duration of this lockdown. So when you buy something, every penny goes to funding our UK work when it resumes, and to helping us finalise the adaptations we've made that should allow us to safely and responsibly return to the kids in Lesbos and Samos - more news on that soon!
]]>Between now and the end of August, our range of classic Ts are in a grab-and-grin summer sale. When they're gone, they really are gone, so don't miss out: get yours here!
And while all that's going on, we're asking you to get creative and join us in spreading a little sunshine. That's right, our next T-shirt - sold at festivals and right here on our shop - is going to be designed by the person reading this. How cool is that?
And as with everything we sell, every penny of profit will go straight to helping the Seagulls spread smiles worldwide.
We have two categories, one for adults and one for kids. The winner of the adults' competition will have their design printed as our next adults' T-shirt, the kids' winner will have their design printed as our kids' T-shirt.
The runners-up - two in our adults' competition and five in our kids' category - will each get their design printed and posted to them as a unique, one-off Seagull T-shirt!
Now for the rules - read these carefully! You can suggest any colour you like for the T-shirt itself, but your design must use no more than three colours, be only on the front of the T-shirt, and leave the sleeves of the T clear.
The competition's open to all of you, wherever you are, but you need to send us your design before 1st September!
We're not looking for fine art, we're looking for something that you think captures the essence of the Seagull Project. When you're ready, email your design or a photo of your drawing to ash@theflyingseagullproject.com, or post it to:
The Flying Seagull Project
Unit 1
Aldbury Farm
Hatfield Broad Oak
BISHOP'S STORTFORD
CM22 7JX
If you're sending it in by post, make sure you leave enough time for it to arrive before September!
