Rennie Grove Peace Hospice Care has called on the Berkhamsted community to make space in their wardrobes and help fund specialist nursing care by taking part in the Bags That Matter campaign.
The initiative launches on Thursday, June 12, with a special donation drop-off event in the Waitrose Berkhamsted car park, running from 9am to 1pm.
Locals are encouraged to fill a bag with quality clothing and bring it to the charity’s branded van, which will be parked on site, ready to receive donations.
Rennie Grove Peace supports people in Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire with life-limiting illnesses. As a charity, it receives only 14 per cent of its funding from statutory sources. One full van of donated clothing could help fund a specialist nurse for over a month, making every item donated matter.
Nicola Flood, head of buying and operations at Rennie Grove Peace, said: “We’re excited to launch the Bags That Matter campaign and bring it to Berkhamsted first. Every bag of quality clothing helps us generate vital funds to support patients and families who rely on our care. We hope the people of Berkhamsted will rally behind us and fill the van, so we can continue to support people within the community.”
Bags can be picked up in advance from Waitrose Berkhamsted, or directly from the Rennie Grove Peace team at the van on the day. Or donors can use their own bags.
