SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES: Sunny-Ile children learn more about charity shop

CHILDREN from the Sunny-IlePre-School in Ilminster have been learning more about the work of the town’s St Margaret’s Somerset Hospice charity shop in the town.

Sunny-Ile raised more than £20 through donations from children and parents and collected some unwanted clothes and toys.

The children then went along to the hospice shop in Silver Street and learnt about how their donations of clothes and toys would help raise money for the hospice.

Cheryl Herrick, deputy leader of the pre-school, said the children were taught how their outgrown toys and clothes would be sorted and sold to raise money for the hospice.

St Margaret’s charity shop manager, Donna Stuckey, said: “We have recently started selling children's clothes and Sunny-Ile’s kind donations will increase our selection on offer for our customers and in doing so it will encourage others to donate.

"This is turn will raise money for St Margaret’s Hospice.”
