Sense Scotland’s Swap Shop

Refresh your Sense of style this autumn

Deafblind and disabled charity Sense Scotland would like to invite you to their Swap Shop event on Sunday 5th October. Taking place in the gorgeous Le Monde Hotel, Edinburgh, this is your chance to clear out and refresh your wardrobe for the winter.

The day aims to give guests the chance to clear out their closets and start a fresh whilst raising awareness and funds for the charity. Sense Scotland supports and promotes the interests of children, young people and adults who have communication support needs arising from a range of disabilities including, but not limited to, deafblindness, sensory impairment, learning or physical disability.

All guests are asked to bring along no more than 10 good quality and clean items. This could be clothing, shoes, DVD’s, accessories or books. Tickets to take part are £10 which includes tea and coffee. There will also be a beautician on hand and a cash bar for those who would like to make the day of it!

Erin Leggate, Sense Scotland’s Events Manager: “Our vision is for the people we support to live meaningful and independent lives. Events such as the Swap Shop help us achieve that. We’re all really looking forward to the day; there are great prizes to be won from champagne, chocolates, hair salon vouchers and more so this is definitely one to put in your diary.”

As an added feel good factor, not only will the cost of your ticket be going towards the charity’s work, all leftover items will be taken to their charity shops throughout Scotland.

Tickets to take part in and attend the Swap Shop are £10, you are free to leave with as many items as you like! To get yours contact Erin on 0300 330 9292 or visit Sense Scotland’s website http://www.sensescotland.org.uk
