We raised just over £700 and with deductions for studio donation, payment for printing of flyer and refreshments. We will be donating 😍£588.50❤️ (there is still a small amount of money due in).

So thank you and thanks to the studio mates & mechanics for supporting this.

AGE UK in Higher Bebington were the beneficiary of the unsold items from Retro - Part two- vintage sale for dementia. Despite selling lots, lots remained and now will hopefully be put to good use by Age UK and the books to The Green Community Shop

Packed up much of what remained and will be donating to Age UK in Higher Bebington, rags have gone to mechanics, fabrics and patterns going to Birkenhead Sixth Form College. Will add up the total once all monies come in.

Thank you all for coming. We have raised a good amount for dementia charities. I will update with the figure before the middle of the week when all the monies come in. If anyone has missed out and wants to visit for specific items, I can be available with the stock on Monday afternoon but make a specific arrangement.
