Community Spirit Shines ‘Good & New’ Sale Raises Staggering £57,000
The fashion-forward residents of Rutland have proven once again that style and philanthropy are a perfect match. Over the weekend of Friday 27th and Saturday 28th March, the Rutland Hall Hotel was transformed into a bustling boutique for the annual Good & New Clothes Sale, resulting in an incredible £57,000 raised for local charity.
The event saw a remarkable turnout of shoppers who scoured the rails for high-quality bargains and designer finds. The atmosphere was one of celebration and purpose, as the community came together to support the vital work of For Rutland. Organizers were quick to express their deep gratitude to everyone who attended, noting that the success of the sale is a direct reflection of the generosity found within the county.
This significant sum of money will be put to immediate use, enabling For Rutland to continue funding specialist advisers at Citizens Advice Rutland. These professionals provide an essential, non-medical lifeline to people of all ages living with long-term health conditions. By offering expert guidance on financial, housing, and social issues, the advisers ensure that those facing serious health challenges are not left to navigate complex systems alone.
Of course, an operation of this scale would be impossible without a dedicated team behind the scenes. A "great big shout out" is extended to the army of fantastic volunteers who worked tirelessly to ensure the weekend ran smoothly. From the initial sorting of donations to managing the busy dressing rooms, their energy and commitment were the backbone of the event’s success.
For those inspired by this weekend's achievement, the group is always looking for new members to join their ranks. If you would like to be part of this successful team and help make future events possible, you can find more information by visiting the For Rutland website and exploring their dedicated volunteering page. https://www.forrutland.org.uk/volunteering
