Join the Barnardo's 'Great Christmas
Sort Out' by donating your Winter Woollies
STAFF at Barnardo's shops across
Merseyside are asking people to have a pre-Christmas sort out and donate their
pre-loved winter woollies to their local store.
Stocks of winter clothes; such as jumpers and coats; are flying off the rails
at Barnardo's shops across the region as the weather turns colder. The charity
desperately needs more adults' and kids' winter clothing as well as unused and
pre-loved quality toys in a bid to meet the demand.
Shoppers not only have the chance to buy quality items at bargain prices at
their local Barnardo's store, but are also doing their bit to help Merseyside's
vulnerable children and young people. Money raised in the shops is ploughed back
into local Barnardo's projects.
Barnardo's supports more than 2,000 children, young people and families each
year through its services across Merseyside, including:- young carers, care
leavers, teenage or young parents, children in care and young people with mental
health issues.
Marie Williams, Barnardo's Regional Manager for Retail Operations, said:-
"We really need people to look in their wardrobes and dig out any good quality
coats, jumpers, and winter warmers that they haven't worn for a while and bring
them down to their local Barnardo's shop. We'd also welcome any accessories,
toys, books and bric-a-brac. Not only does the money raised from the sale of
these items fund our work with disadvantaged children in the area, but our shops
also give local families the opportunity to buy vital warm clothes and presents
for Birthdays and Christmas at an affordable price. It also gives people the
chance to clear out that much-needed space around the house, in time for
Christmas!"
