The garden looks great and we can't wait to show it off in July as part of Sleaford in Bloom. Mon, 24 Aug 2009 14:19:27 +0100 http://www.giftshospice.org.uk/news/great-bargains-at-our-charity-shop Thanks to the generosity of everyone who has donated good, people in Grantham have been able to get some great clothing, books and bric-a-brac bargains. The shop has made a massive contribution to the funds we need to raise every year and we're helping to recycle unwanted items. We still need more quality good and if you're having a clear out after Christmas or an early spring clean, please think of us. Items can be dropped off at the shop on Welby Street or the Day Hospice on Barrowby Road. Larger goods can be collected if required. For further information, please contact Gifts on 01476 513540.

Our fun informal meetings take place once a month but you could just help out at events on an ad-hoc basis. It's a great way to make new friends, have some laughs and raise much needed funds for the charity. Call our fundraising team on 01476 513540 for further information.

To enable us to meet demand, we are still asking people to 'dig deep' and if you're interested in making a donation, leaving a gift in your will, organising an event or volunteering please do get in touch, we would love to hear from you.
