SUMMER seems to have finally arrived and Age UK wants people to donate jumpers and coats to their charity shops.

Money raised by Age UK’s shops helps the charity to deliver hands-on local services as well as national work like its free advice line and campaigning work.

Age UK can collect donations as well as take bags at the shops.

Lynn Anderson, shop manager at Great Harwood said: “When you sort through last season’s wears, please donate any unwanted items you have. We are desperately in need of clothes, accessories and household items.”
