GENEROUS Cumbrians have inundated a local charity with so many goods that it is asking them to sell them on eBay instead – and then make a donation Carlisle-based Eden Valley Hospice has six charity shops across the north of England which were forced to close during lockdown. Stephanie Lacaille-Burton, the charity’s head of marketing, said: “We made the decision not to open any of our six charity shops this week, as we were really concerned about the level of donations we’d receive and wanted to avoid becoming totally overwhelmed. “We were completely inundated with donations before Christmas and to allow for social distancing between our volunteers in our shops we unfortunately couldn’t afford to receive any more.
A number of solicitors across the county are taking part in the charity’s campaign.
