An online auction of clothes worn by Suffolk singer/songwriter Ed Sheeran will begin tonight in aid of Suffolk Family Carers.
The Ipswich-based charity was part of a select few organisations chosen to sell the items, many of which have been worn on photo and video shoots and at the star’s concerts.
The auction is already getting a lot of attention online and officials at the charity are hopeful it will help them to raise thousands of pounds.
Anna Haley, fundraiser at Suffolk Family Carers, said: “We are so excited that Ed Sheeran wants to help our charity raise vital funds and this is the perfect way.

Norwich and South Norfolk stroke survivors in call for communication support service

Stroke survivors in Norwich and South Norfolk are calling for a communication support service to be reinstated after a loss of funding.
The Stroke Association ran the service to help sufferers left with aphasia – a condition where people have difficulty speaking or understanding speech – learn how to talk again or use other means of communicating.
But the charity stopped providing the service in March last year after losing NHS funding.
