Following the recent success of their Blooming Great Tea Party John Lewis Partners wanted to support terminal illness charity, Marie Curie, further.
The team decided to arrange a collection at their store for unwanted clothing, accessories and shoes.
Veronica Zarola, Community Liaison Coordinator a John Lewis, said: “All of the partners at John Lewis have been delighted to support Marie Curie and I am thrilled that our collection has generated 10 sacks of clothing to sell in the local Marie Curie shops”.
Neil Lias, Area Shop Manager for Marie Curie, said: “We have three shops in Wiltshire and we are always in need of pre-loved clothes and accessories. I would like to say a huge personal thanks to all of the partners from John Lewis at Home in Swindon for their support. It was a pleasure to meet some of the team and I am so pleased that I was able to offer a personal thank you. Every sack collected really does make a difference and will help Marie Curie provide care and support to people living with a terminal illness and their families.”
