The Shropshire and North Wales Children’s charity recently benefited from a clothing collection at Shrewsbury Business Park where office workers from a range of companies “cleared their wardrobes” and brought in clothing and accessories to quickly fill the charity’s collection boxes. Anthony Scanlan of Shrewsbury Business Park Management Limited said “Diane Brown from Thomas Consulting, whose offices are in the Alaska Building at the centre of the Park, was approached by Hope House for any surplus clothing. There is a great sense of community on the Park so I thought other companies might like to join in – and they did!” Some empty space within the Alaska Building – currently to let through agents Cooper Green Pooks – was used as the collection point for the day before the clothing was sent to Hope House for sorting and sale or recycling to raise funds for the charity. The photo attached shows Diane Brown and Hazel Durham at the Alaska Building with boxes for collection by Hope House.
