A long serving supporter of the Bhopal Medical Appeal held a Table-top Garden sale at her home in Stroud on the 19th and 20th of July to help raise money for the clinics in Bhopal. Olivia Dell, who has been involved with the Bhopal Medical Appeal as a generous supporter and friend for many years, has previously held pop up shop sales and workshops. Olivia also sells peg dolls from her own world textiles and folk art business with the proceeds of the peg dolls going to the BMA.
Despite the rain on Saturday, many still made it to the sale, with Olivia stating that ‘All money’s raised were given with a kindness of spirit – often in excess of the prices’. People also donated items for her to sell including antiques, books, vintage clothing and jewelry, and with the success of this event Olivia has said that another sale might be on the cards, potentially in Stroud town centre.
The Bhopal Medical Appeal would like to say a big thank you to Olivia and all those who helped and turned up to her event. A grand total of £840 was raised, this money will help to provide health care and change the life of someone who really needs it.
