A TABLEWARE store is hoping its cups runneth over and so give York’s hospice a massive boost.

The Denby Shop, at York Designer Outlet, is giving customers the chance to buy new tableware at discounted prices and help St Leonard’s Hospice at the same time. The store’s “New For Old” exchange scheme runs from March 2 to 15 and means customers can get discounts in exchange for their old, useable crockery. For every piece that customers bring to the shop they will receive a discount of £2 off the price of a new piece of plain Denbyware. The crockery that is handed in will be donated to the Hospice, to be sold in its five York shops. Helen Moreton, hospice retail manager said: “Last time the Denby Shop ran this exchange, St Leonard’s received hundreds of pieces, and we were able to sell a lot through our shops.

“We are very grateful to Denby for using this imaginative promotion once again to help St Leonard’s.”
