Clitheroe Market Collection Day

Sat, Mar 4th 2023 at 8:00 am - 10:00 am

Our Market stall return each 1st Saturday in the months of March, April, NOT May but returning in June 2023.


We're back....
Clitheroe Rotary is returning to Clitheroe Market March 4th,  April 1st and June 3rd (not May 6th due to the Coronation) to collect unwanted goods in support of charity.
In the past you have have donated thousands of pounds worth of goods through Rotary, which have been passed on and gratefully received.

As last year, we will be collecting unwanted IT equipment, in support of 'IT Africa'. Computers, laptops, tablets, cabling but please no printers, as ink cartridges may not be available in the final destination.
Unwanted sewing machines and tools, in support of 'Tools for Self Reliance', Africa. In the past you have donated a magnificent 88 sewing machines which enable seamstresses to make garments such as school uniforms, as well as literally hundreds of power and hand  tools allowing users to become carpenters and mechanics. All we ask is that power tools are in safe working order.

We also collect unwanted mobile phones and spectacles, these we pass on to International Aid Trust. Unwanted foreign currency, either coins or notes, providing funds for Mary's Meals. And foil blister packs from drugs, from which the aluminium is reclaimed and sold via Superdrug, with the proceeds going to Marie Curie Care. What we can't take at this time is clothing, this will be collected in the autumn via the Rotary "Wrap Up East Lancashire" campaign.

We look forward to seeing you on Clitheroe Market, between 8:00AM and 3:00PM starting March 4th and thank you for supporting those in need via Rotary.
