Handmade gifts on sale as Shropshire Council staff raise money for charity

A large range of items, many of them handmade by Shropshire Council staff, will go on sale this coming Monday, 12 December, to help raise money for charity.

Items including jewellery, greetings cards, knitted toys, clothes, handbags, cakes, books and Christmas decorations will be on sale at a Christmas Fayre at Shirehall in Shrewsbury.

The event runs from 12 noon to 2pm.

There will be around 20 stalls at the Fayre and each stallholder is being asked to donate a minimum of £5 to the charity of their choice. People visiting the Fayre will also be able to make a donation to each stallholder’s chosen charity.

Clive Wright, Shropshire Council’s Chief Executive, said:

“This will be another brilliant opportunity to help some worthy causes this Christmas, and the fantastic range of items that are set to go on sale next week shows what a creative bunch of people we have working for the Council. I’m really looking forward to seeing all the stalls and to snapping up a few Christmas gifts.”
