PBN’s fund-raising campaign in aid of local charity Home-Start Perth continues with the opening of a charity shop in St John’s Centre, Perth. Based in the former Actionwear unit with a frontage also on South Street, the shop will be open from 12 noon to 4 pm on Thursday, 14 January, and from 10.30 am to 5 pm Friday 15 and Saturday, 16 January. Available in the shop will be great bargains in clothing for all the family, jewellery, accessories, books, gifts, toys, CDs, bric-a-brac, cards, etc., i.e. something for everyone. On the Friday, there will be also be superb fashion and styling tips from PBN members Adele and Marlene from Integro, who are personal image consultants and are often described as the friendlier Scottish version of Trinny and Suzannah. And on Saturday, between 10.30 am – 2 pm, Moira Lumby of Barefoot Books will be on hand to keep children happy and enthralled with her storytelling sessions so that their mums can browse at leisure round the shop. Proceeds from the shop will be added to funds already raised by PBN including the £470 from the Christmas Charity Stall in St John’s Shopping Centre Mall in November when a selection of festive items were on sale. Helen MacDonald, PBN Chair, said, ‘We would like to thank St John’s Shopping Centre for making the area within the Mall as well as the shop unit available to us and also everyone who has so far given us donations for the shop. We want to raise as much as possible for this very worthwhile cause, so please come along and give us your support and grab a new year bargain”. Over the last five years, previous charities supported by PBN have been Rachel House in Kinross, Mercy Ships, Bravehearts, Open Minds ENABLE and Macmillan Cancer Support.
