Our moving consultants will be able to tell you more about our “De-clutter and Donate” scheme when they visit you at the home survey stage of your move. They will be able to discuss the items that the CHSS like to have donated and also give you some donations bags. You can then sort out any items that you would like to donate at your leisure. The CHSS is always looking to collect any of the following:
-
Clothes
-
Shoes and boots
-
Bags, handbags and belts
-
Books
-
CDs and DVDs
-
Mobile phones
-
Small electrical items
-
Jewellery
-
Bric-a-brac
On the day of your move, your removal team will put these bags safely to one side of the vehicle whilst they pack and wrap the rest of your possessions up. If you need any extra donation bags during the moving process, just ask one of crew, as they always carry extra bags on the removals van.
Once they have safely moved you in to your new home, the crew will bring the donated items back to the Edinburgh branch. We will then arrange to deliver the donated items direct to the CHSS, or they will pop by and collect them, after which they sort the items to sell to raise money for their charitable research.
Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland improves the quality of life for people in Scotland affected by chest, heart and stroke illness, through medical research, influencing public policy, advice and information and support in the community. You can learn more about the CHSS’s charitable health care work in Scotland on their website – www.chss.org.uk
And it’s not only donations that Bishop’s Move Edinburgh undertake for the CHSS, we’ve also helped them out by supplying vehicles for their fundraising events such as for the transportation of bicycles on the Canal Cycle Ride and being an interesting obstacle in their Road Block Run.
Bishop’s Move Edinburgh’s ‘De-clutter and Donate’ service ensures that 100% of your donations go directly to the CHSS! So what are you waiting for? De-clutter and donate today!
