charity.<\/p>\n<p>Help for Heroes will receive a donation from the Lakeside Plant and Garden Centre in Telford once the festivities are over, reports the Shropshire Star.<\/p>\n<p>And it is not only Halloween that will contribute to the coffers, as the store also plans to run a Christmas grotto from which the proceeds will be handed over to the charity.<\/p>\n<p>Kevin Turley from the Priorslee centre said: &quot;When we bought our Halloween stock from a wholesaler, they donated approximately 50 broomsticks which we are selling for &pound;1 each in aid of the charity.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>The garden centre has a track record of selling broomsticks, as last year it managed to shift 25.<\/p>\n<p>People can get hold of their own easily enough as the centre is open seven days a week, with buyers knowing they are doing their bit for a very worthy cause.<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ADNFCR-2867-ID-801649205-ADNFCR\"
