SUE RYDER is urging the public to donate pre-loved items for Christmas, so the charity can be there for more people approaching the end of life or living with grief this festive season.
A clear out can also provide shoppers with affordable and sustainable ways to fill stocking and space under trees this Christmas.
Anthony Barlow, senior regional manager at Sue Ryder said: “The build up to Christmas is a hugely busy time for our shops, with people feeling the festive buzz, soaking up the atmosphere on the high street and wanting to give something back.
“Our charity shops have an important part to play at Christmas, not only do they offer a place to shop for affordable gifts, but they’ll be raising funds to support people at the most difficult time of their lives.
“Having a good clear out now will allow you to free up space for any surprises Father Christmas has in store, and by donating, you’ll help ensure people don’t grieve or die feeling alone and in pain at Christmas.”
The charity shops accepts furniture, and also has a free pick up delivery service available on its website.
The charity has just under 400 shops in high streets, retail parks and shopping centres across the UK, with money raised going towards its hospices, palliative care hubs and range of bereavement services.
People can donate quality toys, clothes, household goods, electricals, bric-a-brac, and books, as well as accessories and collectibles at Sue Ryder shops or by visiting Donate to your local charity shop.
