“So, I put the word out and we started our own charity second-hand site that had only celebrity cast-offs.
“If you’re searching for a Christmas present for a granny who’s nuts about Game of Thrones or an uncle who always does his Mick Jagger impression, we have unique authenticated GOT and Stones items for you.
“You have to go on the website to have a look and choose a Christmas memento for someone you know. There’s a good chance one of your favourite stars or shows will be there.”

This year EACH has experienced a hugely significant drop in voluntary income as a result of shops being closed and fundraising events being cancelled.
Just before the second national lockdown, the charity forecasted a loss of £1.7m in funding over the next 12 months - almost a third of the total it needs to support families across East Anglia.
