‘Fluffy Bobbles to invade Edinburgh Age Scotland shops this week
On Friday 8 February 2013 Age Scotland’s charity shops in Edinburgh’s Stockbridge area and on Nicolson Street will be invaded by colourful Fluffy Bobbles looking for new homes. To mark national Bobble Day, shoppers can adopt and wear a Bobble, for a suggested donation of £1, to support Age Scotland’s work to make Scotland a better place for older people.
Stockbridge Shop Manager Amanda Lawrie said: “Wearing a Bobble is a great way to brighten up an outfit, and show your support for older people in Scotland. And when you collect yours, you can also browse some great offers we’ve got in the shop.”
Charity fundraiser Joyce Sperber said: “The Age Scotland Helpline answers around 230 enquiries a week from older people, their friends, families and carers. Our Community Development Team is supporting 58 older people’s clubs and groups in the Edinburgh area. And we’re campaigning with and for older people on the issues that matter to them; from health to transport. All this is only possible with the support and generosity of the public, so please wear your Bobble with pride on 8th February and help us to continue our work.”
