Estate agent hopes to have lots of bottle
An estate agency is hitting the bottle to help raise funds for the Pilgrims Hospice.
Over the coming weeks Andrew & Co is setting up bottle stations where people can drop off donations.
Director Matt Skipper said: “As a way of celebrating a recent award for our Cheriton branch as estate agent of the year, rather than crack out the champagne for ourselves, we have chosen to sponsor the Pilgrims Hospices’ summer fair.
“At the same time we thought it would be a lovely idea to ask the public to join us by popping in to any of our branches in Ashford, Cheriton, New Romney or Charing and donate anything from champagne to shampoo, wine to water to be taken to Pilgrims Hospice Ashford.
“These bottles will then be used as stock for a variety of stalls including their popular bottle tombola and bottle fishing stalls.
“We will accept donations until the end of July so if you are passing just drop in.”
Every year Pilgrims Hospice Ashford holds its summer fair in the grounds of the hospice in Hythe Road, Willesborough.
This year the fair will be held on Saturday, August 5 from noon until 4pm. Entry is free.
Last year the event raised a record breaking £22,500.
