Recent book sales held at Heighington Village Hall and St Clare’s Church in Newton Aycliffe, in aid of Marie Curie, raised a combined total of £615. The Newton Aycliffe Fundraising Group thank the residents of Newton Aycliffe, Heighington, and the surrounding areas, who generously donated all the books, CD’s and DVD’s offered at the sales. There were over three thousand items donated within a ten day period.
The Group are also very grateful to all the people who attended the events and were able to purchase good quality books at amazing prices. They would also like to say a special thank you to St Clare’s Church and their volunteers who were very supportive of their event by providing a coffee morning and cake stall to all the visitors. Their generous donation helped contribute to the overall success of the book sale. All of the unsold items have been re-distributed to Marie Curie shops throughout the North East and will generate substantial future funds to provide ‘end of life’ care by Marie Curie Nurses.
