East Cheshire Hospice shop in Knutsford is seeking the woman who donated a pair of boots containing £80 in old notes and two bank books.
A customer trying on boots at the East Cheshire Hospice shop in Knutsford discovered £80 in old notes and two bank books inside the gold crocodile patterned footwear. The woman who donated the boots told staff they had belonged to her mother. Volunteer Sue McDonald said the donor was unlikely to have known the money and bank books were hidden in the boots.
The hospice shop, which opened last year on Malt Street opposite Tatton Perk, is asking for help tracing the woman to return the items. Sue McDonald said: "We just want to give this money and bank books back to the owner. It would be lovely for her to have this money for Christmas."
The Knutsford shop has received numerous high-quality donations since opening, including designer coats with labels still attached, china figures and jewellery. McDonald, a volunteer since the shop opened, said local people had been generous with their donations to the hospice.
