  • I donate to our local Hospice shop and I have a gift aid card.

    The ladies are lovely in the shop, I also have an email thanking me for my donations and then later an email telling me how much my goods raised. I am sometimes amazed at the amount.

    I bought these Gardeur jeans today http://www.houseofbruar.com/gardeur-ladies-gardeur-classic-jeans-prodtp24091/

    Mine are the grey denim ones.

    They were priced at £15 but no-one was buying last week, and when I popped in today they were reduced to £7.50!!!

  • Hi Barney,

    No, it's Myton Hospice, they have several shops that I know of and a Hospice at Myton in Warwick and one based at University Hospital, Coventry.

    A cause very close to my heart

    Over the moon! I've been searching for a good quality waterproof coat for my husband for months now in charity stores. This has proved difficult because he's an unusual size (6' 6"). Happy to say I finally found one today, a hardly worn Regatta one in a lovely olive colour that should be a very good fit. He won't look like a drowned rat on any more family walks. ;)

    I have gift aid cards for Sue Ryder, BHF, Age Concern, my local hospice shop & Barnardos. In fact I had emails from BHF & Age Concern to say how much they gave raised from my donations - with the tax rebate, it was over £250 :)
