Myself and colleagues used to travel a lot with Work and picked up loads of wee toiletry bottles from hotels. We started to collect them for a Local womens refuge and It kind of became a competition to see Who could collect the most. Ask around friends and Family someone isbound to know a travelling salesman or people Who travel For Work and get a Similar scheme going. Good luck. Re the tv thing, since going digital many peopole like me have portable non digital tvs lying around not being used but all that is really needed a freeview box you can pick up for about £13. A friend in Orkney picked up 3 TV’s from a skip at local recycling centre, i n perfect working order non digital tvs, at home with a freeview box and hey presto TV in every room in the house. I suggest a wanted ad in local free press or gumtree for non digitak working tv. good luck

Ward 23 Bristol Royal Infirmary,
Marlborough Street
Bristol BS2 8HW
Tel: 0117 3422016
Dear Sir or Madam,
Re: Fundraising for ward 23
Thank you for taking time to read this letter and apologies if you have previously received this letter.
We are a care of the elderly ward catering for patients of all ages. We are trying to raise money for basic toiletry items for our patients who very often have no living relatives and so we try to raise the money to buy the items for them. We are hoping that you may be able to help us in some small way by donating a small item for us to put into a hamper or to use in a raffle; even the smallest of items would benefit our patients.
We are also trying to raise enough money to buy a television for the ward as there is nothing to keep the patients occupied during the day.
We send you our sincere and grateful thanks for any help you may be able to give.
Thanking you in anticipation
Yours sincerely
Sue Nicholls
Ward Clerk
P.S. we would be willing to pay a small fee for old stocks if that is possible

We do them everyday and don’t get anywhere near the prices the big high street stores charge. If you don’t feel like making your own, have a look at our create your own hamper section of our website. We’ll do it for you with the items you want to put into the hamper.

I found this article really, really insightful. I’m thinking of
setting up this business (abroad) and it has given me some serious food for thought. Based on what you’ve said I think I really need to specialise in one area, just need to decide which…
