Defrock for a good cause

LOCAL charity shops have urged people to donate party frocks for the festive season.

Barnardo’s Scotland will be revealing the latest fashion glitz at their stores in Edinburgh this week so people can dress to impress without cutting into winter budgets.

To keep pace with demand for quality fashion at affordable prices, Barnardo’s Scotland is asking the public to “blitz the glitz” in their wardrobes and donate to local shops as the party season approaches.

Marie Williams, area business manager, said: “Barnardo’s is famous for quality party wear and vintage clothing, but we need a constant supply of stock. By donating party wear to Barnardo’s Scotland you can help support vulnerable children.”
