The value of your investments (and any income from them) can go down as well as up, and you may not get back the full amount you invested. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.

Investments should be considered over the longer term and should fit in with your overall attitude to risk and financial circumstances.

💜 Broom Consultants is supporting the Love Grace Handbag Appeal, a very special initiative created in memory of Grace Millane.💜

Grace loved handbags, and following her death, her family and friends created the Love Grace Handbag Appeal as a way of building a positive legacy in her name while providing practical support to women affected by domestic abuse.

The appeal collects new or gently used handbags and fills them with everyday essentials and little luxuries. The completed bags are given to women through refuges, support centres and hospitals – including women who may have had to leave their homes with very few, or sometimes none, of their own possessions.

👜 Broom Consultants will be acting as a local collection point in Brentwood, and we would love our clients, friends and local community to get involved.

You can donate a new or gently used handbag (around 30cm or larger) or new items to help fill the bags, including:

🪥 Toothbrushes & toothpaste
🧴 Shampoo, conditioner & shower gel
💜 Deodorant
🧼 Soap & hand gel
💄 Make-up & perfume
🪮 Hairbrushes, combs & hair accessories
🧣 Scarves & gloves
📝 Notebooks & pens
…and other small essentials and treats.

You don’t need to fill a whole handbag – individual handbags and toiletries are very welcome, and they can be donated separately.

Sometimes something as simple as a handbag filled with everyday items can provide not only practical help, but also a reminder to a woman going through an incredibly difficult time that someone cares and she matters.

We would be so grateful for any support, and please share this post to help us spread the word. 💜

You can find out more about Grace, the appeal and the full donation guidelines on the Love Grace website. https://www.lovegrace.co.uk/

However, there are lots of important areas to consider, from how it could affect your tax liability to your responsibility as a landlord.
