Hoarders Wanted for Hospice Summer Fete
June 28, 2010
Hoarders across Birmingham are being urged to help the City’s only independent adult hospice by donating any unwanted household items for sale at its annual summer fete.
The July 17 spectacular is a key event in Birmingham St Mary’s Hospice’s annual fundraising calendar and features a variety of attractions including: Star Wars characters; a dog show; vintage car display; a judo demonstration; and a mini steam train.
But to help ensure success organisers are appealing to people across the City to donate unwanted items such as books, DVDs, CDs, videos, jewellery and other bric-a-brac, to be sold on the summer extravaganza’s stalls. Donations of plants and homemade cakes are also welcome.
Community Fundraiser Jo Proudler, who is organising the fete, said all items would be gratefully received: “Anything you donate is certain to make a difference to people with life-limiting illnesses being cared for by Birmingham St Mary’s.”
“I’m confident this year the fete will be bigger than in previous years, as there are some really eye-catching attractions, such as the Star Wars characters and the judo demonstration. And if the weather remains as it has been for the past few weeks, it’s looking like it will be a great way to spend a summer Saturday afternoon,” Jo added.
Birmingham St Mary’s Hospice Summer Fete takes place partly in the Hospice grounds and in neighbouring Selly Park between 11am and 2pm on Saturday, July 17.
To donate items to the fete, please contact Jo at: joanne.proudler@bsmh.org.uk, or on: 0121 4721191
