A CHIRK café is appealing for any unwanted, quality items ahead of Christmas to help those with life-limiting illnesses.

Caffi Wylfa, the social enterprise run café in Castle Road, will be home to the Donate Don’t Dump campaign to show support to Nightingale House Hospice, a Wrexham-based charity which provides specialist palliative care.

The café is also giving away a free coffee with every cake purchased for anyone who donates on the day.

Anybody wanting to donate their unused items can drop them off at the café throughout the day on Wednesday, November 20.

The re-sale of donated items through the ‘Nightingales’ retail outlets provide much needed funds so the hospice can continue to provide care to patients within its catchment area.

All we ask is that you your items are of good quality types such as clothes, furniture, electrical goods and bric-a-brac.

Caffi Wylfa chef, Chris Davies, has also created a special ‘Nightingale Amaretto and Cherry’ scone to be available on the menu for the foreseeable future, with ten per cent of the proceeds going to the hospice.

He said: “We are very happy to be involved with Nightingale House. I have had experience through family and friends of the excellent work and care hospices give to our loved ones.

“We get a lot of support here at Glyn Wylfa from members of the community so I’m confident we will have a great response to the Donate Don’t Dump campaign.”

Earlier this year, Nightingale House Hospice set up a weekly outreach service at Chirk Community Hospital, taking its specialist patient and carer support into the community providing information, advice and support for those who need it.

The sessions take place every Tuesday between 10am-12.30pm.
