An altruistic haulage firm is needed to shift mugs donated from a closed budget shop.

Following the announced closure of 80 Poundworld stores two days ago, three crates of mugs were offered to charity Small Acts of Kindness.

The social enterprise sources and distributes gifts to help people in Hertfordshire feel less alone during the winter months, and was set up by Watford based Lynne Misner in January 2015.

She said: "We have been offered mugs that need collecting from Hemel Hempstead and brought to Watford.

"The mugs will be put into Warm in Winter gift bags.

"They will need to be picked up by a company used to picking up this kind of thing, as the crates will have to be taken in one piece.

"It's a bit of an unusual one for us."

Ms Misner was inspired to set up Small Acts of Kindness after her boiler broke down in January 2015.

Being left without heating during the coldest time of the year was a wakeup call for Ms Misner, who was working as a fundraising manager for various different businesses at the time.
