Middleton Memories

We will be celebrating Leeds Older Persons week this week 30th September – 7th October.  We are having a photo exhibition of our 2020 Calender, which will also be on Sale at a subsidized cost of £3.00 each,  this will be held at our Social Centre.  Please come along to take a look.

Our annual Summer Fayre was on Saturday 13th July at our Social Centre.   We was so busy we even sold out of buns.  We also sold over 100 bacon butties and had a special guest appearance by Peppa Pig.  We made a whopping total of over £1,300.   We would like to Thank everyone who supported us, either by volunteering, donating a prize, buying that raffle ticket or just turning up on the day.  Every little helps to go back into our Charity funds to help subsidize more activities for the over 60s in Middleton.

We are now preparing for our Xmas Fayre on Saturday 30th November 10.00-2.00.   Any Donations are welcomed to go towards our Raffle and Tomobola Stalls.  Put it in your diary.  Why not pop down and join us and grab yourself a bargain too.

Here at the shop we are super happy with our shop refit and we would like to share with you some of our pictures.

As you can see the shop looks amazing and our prices are still as low as always!Over the next few months we will be doing special sales days, so watch out for Facebook posts on what’s on sale and when.  The first sale day will be very soon!

We are currently looking for 2 volunteers to help with our online selling if you and a friend or family member would like to help the charity to maximise our online sales please get in touch with the shop manager Adele or pop into the shop.

All shop staff and volunteers look forward to seeing you all over the next couple of months.
