* Charity Press Release
“From the three year
olds in our nursery to our upper sixth students and staff, the whole school was
involved in raising money for Marie Curie, which is such a worthwhile charity,”
she said.
Antique experts and
television personalities Tom Keane, Eric Knowles and Paul Hayes will be in
Cardiff on Sunday 15 October staging a charity valuation in aid of Marie Curie.
Well known for their
appearances on programmes such as The Antiques Road Show, Cash in the Attic and
The Antiques Road Trip, the three experts will value prized possessions in
return for a donation to the charity.
Held in the Great Hall,
of Howell’s School, Llandaff, the experts will be on hand from 11am until 4pm. The
event has been organised jointly by the Marie Curie Penarth Hospice Development
Board and Howell’s School Llandaff, which recently raised £6,660 to pay for a
day’s care at the hospice as part of the charity’s ‘Pay for a Day’ campaign.
Principal of Howell’s
School Llandaff, Mrs Sally Davies, said that the school’s fundraising effort
had been a huge success following a launch earlier this year.
Entrance to the event is by a donation to
Marie Curie (minimum of £5 per family) which will entitle you to bring as many
items as you like for valuation.
Tom Keane said: “We are all looking forward
to a great day at what will be our first charity valuation event in
Cardiff. There is no need to book in
advance, but please remember that valuations will be on a ‘first come first
served’ basis and that heavy furniture and very large items cannot be accepted.
“But, if you want to bring along a photo on your
phone and a description of anything too big to carry, we’ll still do our best
to value it.”
