Have you got any spare room to store items used to raise funds for East Cheshire Hospice?
Fundraiser Gary Henshaw is looking for somewhere to accommodate goods he either sells at his market stall or uses for his tombola stall.
All proceeds go to the Hospice which has received donations of around £12,000 since Gary started his fundraising two years ago.
The retired businessman said: “I’m desperate for an empty garage or a room with easy access once a week to store gifts in.
“I’m also looking for more unwanted gifts I can use for my tombola stall or sell on my stall. Every penny goes to the Hospice which is such a fantastic cause.”
Every entry in the tombola wins a prize. Entry is £1, the same price as any item sold on his stall located outside St Michael’s Church at the next Treacle Market on Sunday (May 26).
Market owners Becky and husband Andy Thompson have another bumper line up of stalls, plus music at the popular market.

The couple teamed up with former Manchester City goalkeeper Alex Williams to raise £200 for the Hospice from sales of his autobiography at the last event.
Gary said: “There’s a wonderful community spirit at the market. Football fans of all ages supporting many different teams came along to say hello to Alex.”
