A NEW charity shop will be opening in Wrexham later this month and it will be on the lookout for both donations and volunteers.

Hope House's charity shop will open at 10am at the Island Green Retail Park on Saturday, January 21.

There will be some special guests on hand to open the shop and there will also be goodie bags and balloons handed out, along with a mystery prize for the shop’s 100th customer.

Shop manager Becky Hemmings said: “We are delighted to be able to open our Island Green shop in Wrexham.

“We have been busy for a little while cleaning, painting, arranging shelving and making the shop sparkle for our customers.

“We are very excited to open and are looking forward to seeing some familiar faces and also making new friends.”

Ahead of the shop opening, Becky is asking if anyone has any donations to take with them to the new shop, while volunteers are also needed to help out.

She added: “We’d love to hear from anyone who wants to join and volunteer with us.

“If you have any time that you can give us, then we would love to welcome you to come and have a chat with us here at the shop.”

Angela Whelan, head of retail, said: “We are delighted to be able to open our new Wrexham shop at Island Green.

“We receive generous support from people in the area which enables us to provide care for local children and families at our hospices.

“Our shops play a vital role in generating much-needed funds to support families in our community; support that is more important than ever during these difficult times.

“I have no doubt that the people of Wrexham will continue to support the shop’s success as customers, volunteers and donors.”
