Marsden launches mystery book sale fundraiser at Colne branch
by Colne Life magazine
Marsden Building Society’s Colne branch has opened an exciting new chapter in the Society’s fundraising efforts, with the launch of a mystery book sale in support of Burnley FC in the Community’s 100 Club: Mission Possible challenge.
Customers can pick up a surprise read in branch from just £1, with each pre-loved book wrapped and labelled only by genre. From gripping thrillers to classic fairytales, the initiative invites customers to discover a new story whilst supporting a worthwhile cause.
It’s a simple idea, but one that brings a bit of fun to fundraising and gives pre-loved books a second life.
All books have been generously donated by customers and colleagues, and the Society is currently welcoming further donations of good quality, used books at its Albert Road branch to help keep the shelves stocked.
Donna Grundy, Colne Branch Manager at Marsden Building Society, said: “We’re excited to launch our mystery book sale and hope our customers enjoy discovering books they may not have chosen otherwise. It’s a simple idea, but one that brings a bit of fun to fundraising and gives pre-loved books a second life. We’d love for people to get involved, whether that’s by picking up a book or donating one.”
The mystery book sale is one of several fundraising activities planned by the Society. The campaign began in April, with colleagues from the People team rolling up their sleeves for a car wash at the Society’s Principal Office in Nelson, raising £220 towards the £1,000 target.
The mystery book sale is now available in the Colne branch, with customers encouraged to take part and help support the local community.
