Staff and volunteers at Scarborough PDSA shop are urging locals to donate their unwanted items or time to help sick and injured pets.
The shop team say they are desperate for good quality donations including jewellery, Bric a brac and books as well as men’s and ladies' clothes, shoes and accessories.
PDSA Shop Manager, Julie Griffiths said:
“Perhaps your wardrobe is bulging with unworn clothes or your shelves are full of books you never read? Why not have a clear-out and donate your unwanted items to PDSA? As well as de-cluttering your home, you’ll be helping a very worthy cause at the same time."
Julie is also appealing for local people to lend a hand and volunteer at the shop. she added:
“We’re looking for enthusiastic volunteers who are passionate about pets and who can lend a hand.
“Volunteering for PDSA is fun and the skills you learn look great on any CV, plus you get to meet new people and make some friends along the way. No previous retail experience is needed, as full training is provided for all new volunteers. So, if you would like to help sick and injured pets, why not join our friendly volunteer team.”

Located at Newborough in Scarborough (opposite M&S) the PDSA shop raises vital funds to provide free and low-cost vet care for those who struggle to pay treatment costs for their sick and injured pets.
The PDSA charity says it believes that no pet owner should be faced with losing a beloved pet because they can no longer afford to pay for treatment. For many vulnerable pets, PDSA is there to help when there is nowhere else for their owners to turn.
PDSA encourages all supporters to sign up for Gift Aid if they are a UK tax payer, to help their donations go even further. Gift Aid allows PDSA to claim an additional 25 per cent of the value of each item sold.
