Charity shop in

2022 challenge

Age UK in Minehead is urging the local community to take part in its 2022 Challenge and donate their unwanted items to charity.

Launching this month, the 2022 Challenge aims to help Age UK’s charity shops across the nation receive 2.2 million bags of donations by the end of the year.

Melanie Mitchell, shop manager at the Age UK shop in Minehead said; “We are asking everyone to join in Age UK’s 2022 Challenge and support our local shop.

“Why not use the gloomy winter months to have that sort out you’ve been putting off for months and part with some items you haven’t worn in years or don’t use anymore?

“Our team of staff and volunteers are on hand to collect donations and advise people if they are unsure what can be donated. As well as doing your bit for the environment, you will be helping us turn every bag into much needed money for Age UK.”

Age UK shops sell a range of clothing and accessories, books, toys, household items and shoes but what shops can accept may vary.
