Parkgate doubles its takings
for Bluebell
Parkgate Shopping
Park’s new monthly “Bag
It Up” initiative with the Bluebell
Wood Children’s Hospice is exceeding
all expectations. Taking place on the first
Wednesday of each month alongside the Park’s
Management Block, the second collection
last Wednesday (September 5) yielded nearly
150 bags, doubling the number collected
during the van’s first visit on August
1.
“We are now well on target to raise
the ambitious equivalent of £10,000
for the Hospice during the first year” says
Park Manager, Denis Copeland.
Peter Bradley,
Corporate Account Manager at Bluebell
Wood comments: “We
are especially delighted with the quality
of the contents of the bags that Parkgate
shoppers are bringing, and this makes a
real difference to the end result. This
last collection even included a perfectly
roadworthy bicycle and some furniture.
Please keep up the good work.”
Shoppers are welcome to bring clothes,
jewellery, toys, music, books are any other
unwanted items, and spare Bluebell bags
are available in the Parkgate Management
and Security Centre alongside Marks and
Spencer. The next collection date is Wednesday
October 3.
