RESIDENTS in Nailsea and Clevedon are being encouraged to clear out their cupboards and donate items to charity.

CLIC Sargent has launched a campaign, entitled Delve, Discover, Donate, in the hope of persuading more people to donate to its charity shops.

Throughout the South West the charity hopes to raise an extra �100,000 through the campaign and its stores in Old Street, Clevedon, and Collliers Walk, Nailsea, are taking part.

Stock collection coordinator Clair Jones said: “One bag of donated stock is worth about �30 which could, for example, pay for a CLIC Sargent play specialist to help a child prepare for treatment using models, toys and photos.

“We’re encouraging Clevedon and Nailsea locals to discover their unwanted books, clothing, CDs, DVDs, home ware, collectables and bric-a-brac, and make any donations they can to their local CLIC Sargent shop.”
