Boost your fundraising with unwanted items
We’ve partnered with Ziffit, a free online service, to sell unwanted books, CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays and games, whose value can be donated directly to your fundraising page. With charity shops closed and many of us staying at home, now is the time to get clearing out those cupboards and start raising funds.#DeclutterAndDonate
