FUNDRAISERS at Bradford’s Marie Curie Hospice are appealing for people to pass on their unwanted Christmas gifts to the charity to help with future raffles, auctions and tombolas.
Community fundraiser Sharon Link said: “No matter how well our nearest and dearest know us we always receive some gifts which will never be used. We can use your unwanted gifts to raise funds to support people with terminal illnesses and their families.
“There will be a wide selection of fundraising events taking place in 2015 so we need lots of good quality items which we can use for raffle, auction and tombola prizes throughout the year.”
Unwanted items can be taken to the Maudsley Street hospice for the attention of the fundraising department, or call 01274 337000 to arrange collection.
The hospice – which costs more than £3.5 million a year to run – provides expert care for people with cancer and other illnesses, free of charge.
