Hand over your handbags for charity!

Posted on by

shoes-bagA girl can never have too many handbags! But even the most avid collector will have at least one lurking in the wardrobe that hasn’t seen the light of day for quite some time – and the same probably goes for shoes…

If you’re guilty as charged and you’re willing to let them go to a new home, why not donate them to charity?

Beaumond House Community Hospice is holding a Handbag and Shoe Amnesty, asking the ladies of Newark to have a bit of a rummage in their closets and hand over their unwanted bags and shoes in a good cause.

Just drop them off at Beaumond House, 32 London Road by Saturday 20 September or give the fundraising team a call on 01636 610556.
