NOW no matter what time of the day, St Luke's Hospice in Plymouth is now giving supporters the chance to donate 24/7, 365 days a year with their donation bins located across the community.

Eighteen donation bins are now in operation ready to give a new home to a whole range of material goods including clothes, shoes, duvets and soft toys.

Retail business development manager, Nicola Critchley, said: 'In the last 12 months our donation bins have received over 12,000 bags, which through sales in our charity shops and on our eBay page will help us to continue to provide vital end of life care.

'I think it has proven to be so popular because it fits in with our busy lifestyles, people can simply donate when they want to rather than be restricted to set times and days.

'All we ask is that all the items placed in the bins are bagged.'

If you're a local business or community group and can house a St Luke's donation bin on your premises please contact Julie Cater on 01752 756535.
