Have a CLEAR OUT!
Donations have been a bit slow to come in this year, and less to sell means
less money for our kids. If you haven’t scoured the house yet, here’s some
ideas:
Small furniture like book shelves, coffee tables, dressers

Books, Toys, Bikes, scooters, skateboards

Handbags, backpacks, school bags, cushions, throws, blankets, bean bags,
tablecloths

Pet items, knick-knacks, kitchenware, garden equipment, tools

Baby gear, high chairs, pushchairs, bouncers, sleeping bags
We also really need SOFT TOYS for games prizes. Kids loved the Teddy Throw
last year and it was a great way to raise money.

The SCHOOL HALL is open for drop off at any time during school hours in bins
by the entrance.
