A SUPPORT group for people living with chronic illnesses and their carers is heading to the market to raise funds for a summer celebration.
Burntwood Spoonies and Carers will host a stall at Burntwood Market from 9.30am to 2pm on 9th August.
The stall will feature preloved clothes, bric-a-brac, brand new items, handmade and crafted goods, and the group's merchandise.
The proceeds will go towards helping to formalise the group's structure and running a social Summer Ball on 30th July 2027 to celebrate one year of Burntwood Spoonies and Carers.
The group, which recently achieved Incorporated Association status, was founded by Sha Taylor in partnership with Aimee Prince and Paul Taylor.
Sha said:
"When I started Burntwood Spoonies and Carers I just wanted people to feel less alone – and now here we are, an Incorporated Association, with a community that takes my breath away every single day.
"A huge thank you to Burntwood Town Council and Burntwood Markets for making this possible."
