Have an Autumn Clearout
for Accord Hospice Never quite got round to Spring Cleaning? Why not have an Autumn Clearout instead?
Year on year, the success of our Christmas Fayre is greatly affected by the generosity of our supporters. You never let us down with the goods you donate to us..... so why not have a look in those cupboards and drawers and see what’s there?
The kind of things that we are looking for are:
Good quality bric-a-brac & toys; Unused toiletries; Bottles for the bottle stall; Unwanted new gifts like that gadget that you bought and never used or that bag you thought would go with those shoes! Soft toys for the tombola.
The fundraising department will be happy to receive goods at the Hospice on Morton Avenue, Paisley PA2 7BW. Tel: 0141 581 2000 or email
