Community fundraising for the proposed new Skatepark continues in earnest, and there are now two new ways for you to get involved, and potentially snap up a bargain too!
Firstly, a huge thanks to The Cotton Bag Company who are producing Skate BoA organic tote bags and have generously donated the first 50 to the skatepark fund for free, meaning 100% of profits, that’s £400, will go towards the project!
The bags, which carry the Skatepark fund’s wheel logo, are now available to purchase (cash only) at Christine’s Sustainable Supermarket for £8 each.
These very roomy bags are printed on both sides and made from sturdy organic cotton, which makes them perfect for carrying the books you might buy at the upcoming second-hand book sale on 12th June! More info HERE
Cllr Kate Bessant, pictured, who has organised the both initiatives in conjunction with the BoA Skatepark group said:
“We’re really looking forward to welcoming people to the town for the book sale. We’ve had huge support from the community with amazing donations of great quality books – lots of new fiction and good quality classics as well as fabulous non fiction finds.
Most of the books will be either £1 or 50p. Lots of bargains! It’s a great chance to promote reading and raise money for a project that will benefit our youth for many years to come!”
The bags, skatepark t-shirts and some limited edition prints will also be available to purchase at the Book Sale.
