FRESHSTART-
News
Freshstart have been talking about doing a car boot sale for a few months now as they receive a number of quality goods that they can't use in the starter packs. Our Saughtonhall volunteers at Freshstart were keen to get involved. On Saturday 10th November, the car was loaded up and the group headed to Corstorphine car boot sale held in the car park of Corstorphine Zoo. The day stayed dry but very chilly. Unfortunately, the sale was not very well attended and a number of cars left having only made around £10. Thankfully a few of our other volunteers turned up to offer their support. Despite the poor turnout, the ladies managed to raise £50 for Fresh Start..
