THE sum of £279 was raised through a pre-loved clothing sale at the 1st Callington Scouts hut recently.

The event was organised by Vicki Sibley, who runs a Slimming World class in the hut on a Friday morning, along with Zeta Smith.

Many of the clothes on offer were items that the slimming class members had grown out of.

It was held from 10am to 2pm, and there was a raffle, which was supported by a number of local businesses, cakes, teas and coffees.

They were delighted to have raised £279, which will be donated to the scouts group to go towards better acoustics in the hut.

Vicki said: “We’re really pleased. There was quite a lot of interest, especially as we did it very last minute. We’re going to do another in the next few months.”
