A hospice will host a second hand clothes sale this weekend to support the end-of-life care it provides.
Prospect Hospice in Wroughton will host a Kilo Sale, allowing shoppers to buy pre-loved clothing at £7.50 per kilogram.
The sale will take place at the hospice on Saturday, August 24, from 10am to 2pm and all money raised will go towards the work of the hospice.
The Kilo Sale is part of the hospice's ongoing efforts to promote sustainable fashion while providing an affordable shopping option for the community.
Attendees will find a selection of quality clothes, ranging from vintage to contemporary styles.
Victoria Canavan, head of retail at Prospect Hospice, said: "We are delighted to bring the Kilo Sale to our community.
"This event is a fantastic way for people to support Prospect Hospice while enjoying a fun and sustainable shopping experience.
"Every purchase made will help us continue providing the compassionate care that our patients and their families rely on."
Prospect Hospice has been operating in Swindon and Wiltshire for more than 40 years, offering personalised care to those affected by life-limiting illnesses.
The funds raised through the Kilo Sale will support the hospice in continuing to offer its services for free to those who need them.
Ms Canavan added: "We encourage everyone to join us, find some great bargains, and support a charity that truly makes an impact in our local area."
The hospice, which has been rated 'Outstanding' by the Care Quality Commission, offers its services 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
While services are offered for free to patients, it relies predominantly on donations from the community.
Donations account for 75 per cent of the £8 million required annually for the hospice to operate.
Patient support is delivered in a variety of ways, tailored to the needs of the individual.
Specialist teams provide clinical, emotional and practical support to patients and their families delivered at the hospice and in people’s homes.
On site specialist teams not only provide clinical support, but practical and emotional assistance to both patients and their families, in their homes as well as at the hospice.
The hospice was established in 1980 and serves more than 330,000 people in Swindon and north east Wiltshire, including areas such as Royal Wootton Bassett, Marlborough and Pewsey, as well as Lechlade and Fairford in Gloucestershire.
