The Carronshore group has organised a pre-loved baby and toddler table-top sale in Carronshore Community Centre this Sunday, November 5 form 10.30am to 1pm.

Founder Jo Fotheringham said: “Our aim is to raise funds for our Hallowe’en and Christmas parties and other upcoming events. We’d also like to buy some nice new toys for our toddlers who come along on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Jo added: “Sadly, many young parents are still struggling with the cost of living crisis so this will help them get things for their kids this Christmas at very affordable prices.”

It’s £1 per adult entry and there will be a raffle to win a family-friendly hamper.

Carronshore Community Centre management committee member Angie Bailey said: “We’re delighted to support Jo in her first fundraising venture and we hope local people will help make it a huge success. This is a great way to raise funds and help struggling families get top-quality things like clothes and toys at a price they can afford.”
