Pop-Up Shop for Children’s Society

During lockdown the Children’s Society charity have not been able to conduct a great deal of fundraising.

They have, however, during this time, accumulated a lot of items to sell!

Rita, from the Society, told KeeP 106: “The last shop was many moons ago and we took the decision then not to have any more because of the large number of charity shops in the town – but – our garage was bursting and also our dining room, so we decided to take up the chance of selling some of these items in a shop in Durngate Street which is empty in August.”

They have said this was a last minute decision and due to volunteer numbers at this time of year, they are opening 11am – 4pm on Friday 13th, Saturday 14th, Monday 16th, Thursday 19th, Friday 20th, Saturday 21st, Monday 23rd, Wednesday 25th and Friday 27th.Image relevant to this news item
