On Tuesday 12th June, Sarah Eardley and Heidi Mulholland went along to The totally Local Charity Shop on behalf of the Hope Family Centre to receive a cheque for £700. It was a lovely morning and a great opportunity to meet up with other local charities as it is always nice to update one another about initiatives and changes. It was lovely to see the Mayor and Mayoress and we were also glad to meet Edgar and Tom from the Royal British Legion. They visited us later in the morning with Janet Brodie-Murphy for a meeting up at the Centre. We were also really pleased to hear Monika give her speech and highlight the strong sense of community and wonderful people locally who support the shop and the charities. We completely agree! Heidi chatted with Cathy from Bromyard Community Transport (pic enclosed) about the help and support that families have received. Betty, the volunteer from Hope who works in the shop was there and we are delighted she is coming up for lunch at Oscar’s café next week to have lunch!
Our warmest thanks go to everyone involved and particularly those who use the shop and through their purchases help us and the other charities – a big thank you!
