AHEAD OF CHALLENGE ANNEKA

Yorkshire folk are being given a hearty challenge, to refurnish an entire house for a local charity which, will house twenty women in need.

The new house is part of City Hearts’ initiative to help women addicted to drugs, alcohol and women with eating disorders and other addictions as part of their oversubscribed residential programme. The house will help rehabilitate women from across the country to help enable them to live as prosperous a life as possible and without their addictions.

The charity are calling for your help to donate unwanted new or good conditioned furniture everything from table cloths and toasters to 3-seater sofa’s. Our local challenge will take place prior to the airing of TV’s Challenge Anneka which will be filmed in Sheffield and on screen later this year.

The City Hearts challenge begins on Tuesday 10th August at City Hearts’ base – Megacentre, Bernard St, Sheffield where a furniture amnesty is being called and the charity will then pass the gauntlet to their two Anneka’s of the day – local TV star and supporter of City Hearts – Sophie Mei and fellow entrepreneur Katrina Bagshaw will swap their skirts and stiletto’s for overalls as they trapse the breadth of the city for those much needed items.

Sophie Mei – dancer, presenter & entrepreneur says;

“City Hearts is a fantastic charity which is relatively new but has already helped improve the lives of many women from across the country. It will be a great challenge to take on as I really think us Yorkshire folk are rather generous and together we can make an ideal home for twenty women. Being part of a residential programme is one of the key steps in recovery and it’s great to think that we may be able to furnish another property to help more people.”
