A CHARITY shop is calling on the public to donate any unwanted good-quality items as part of an autumn and winter clear-out. 

The Age UK shop in Highcliffe and its friends The Wombles, a group championing all things environmental, have teamed up to encourage people to donate their goods. 

Becky Edwards, shop manager at the branch on Lymington Road, said: “We’ve been working with The Wombles throughout the year as they celebrate their 50th anniversary, encouraging people to join the sustainable movement and do their bit for the environment. 

“To kick-start a new season we’re encouraging everyone in Highcliffe to have a clear out and donate any quality items they no longer need. 

“People can also get their hands on our new range of limited-edition Wombles products, including calendars and greetings cards, perfect for the coming festive season and year ahead. 

“Donating clothes to the Age UK Highcliffe shop, not only ensures that items can be reused and live for longer, but funds raised from donations and sales ensure that the Charity can support more older people across the country.”
