Fancy dress season is here! 🥳

Here are some ideas on how to use charity shop basics to build your costume:

* Search through black skirts, blouses, or capes to get that witchy vibe.
* Look out for 70s and 80s patterns to get that retro style - channel your inner Bill and Ted/Waynes World.
* Check out formal wear or old prom dresses to be a fairytale princess, or an undead person from a bygone age.
* Turn old bedsheets into spooky ghosts, or rip up cheap clothes and add face paint to become a zombie.

We'd love to see your looks: share in the comments!

A teddy bear with a large online following is attracting jaw-dropping bids for our charity!

The vintage Alresford Crafts honey bear was donated to the Clayton Road shop in Bradford. The shop team spotted that other toys from the brand can sell for around £30, so they decided to list the soft toy on eBay.

But a Bournemouth-based blog starring a similar bear has drastically increased the number and value of bids for the furry friend.

Louise Wilcock, shop assistant at the Clayton Road store, said: “We put the bear up hoping to raise double figures, but then it started receiving some amazing bids and a mini-bidding war broke out.

“We did some Googling and it turns out this specific model of bear has something of a cult following online. There's an online blog called Horace the Alresford Bear, and a related page with 14,000 followers, and it seems that some fans are desperate for a Horace of their own.

“What's really interesting is that the Horace from the blog was also bought from a Sue Ryder shop back in 2011.”

The original Horace was bought for £15 from a Sue Ryder shop in Bristol back in 2011 – and now is helping raise hundreds for the people we care for.

The auction is due to end on Monday. If you’re looking for a Horace of your own, you can bid at https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/820145696249

Congratulations to two of our volunteers, Jenny and Tom, for both receiving their one year of service certificates recently.
They were both a little shy of having their photos taken, but we'd like to say a big thank you for all your hard work and for being such a valuable part of our team here at Skipton.

It’s Secondhand September! Did you know that if every adult in the UK did all their clothes shopping at secondhand stores, they could prevent 578.5 million kg of CO2 from entering the atmosphere? That's equivalent to a plane flying around the world 787 times!

Our high street shops have incredible treasures, all of which help support our planet, as well as making sure nobody has to face death or grief alone.
