Hospice South Canterbury administrator Ann Brown holds some handbags in preparation for the Old Bags Lunch fundraiser on Saturday.
Organisers of the second Old Bags Lunch are hoping to top the fundraising efforts of their first such event, and are counting on attendees to dust off their spare handbags to help. The Old Bags Lunch is a Hospice South Canterbury fundraiser which sees participants bring a handbag each to sell, and then they get the opportunity to buy one or bid in an auction for a designer bag. Hospice South Canterbury marketing and events manager Jeanna Munro said they ran a similar event in 2015 and raised $6000, but hoped to raise more this time.
