Position: Childminder in South Tyneside
- Why did you decide to organise a charity bag sale?
My aunt, Miriam Ahmed, is a counsellor at Cancer Connections and I wanted to contribute to the charity's work. My idea was to do something a bit different. I'm not into fitness and didn't want to do anything as adventurous as a sky-dive, but I love bags and thought a £1 bag sale would be popular.
- How much money did you raise?
We raised £710. Around 300 people came to the sale, with queues outside Hedworth Hall in South Shields, 45 minutes before we opened. It was so successful, I'm making it an annual event.
