us to open the shop tnost days of the year. Our cor¢ oFning hours are 9am to 5pm with occasional early or late
hours, particularty on weekend5 and bank holidays. Thi5 also means the shop can be part of the more active

footfall in the area.
Volume andquality of donations have remained high. More regularculls led bythevolunteers leadto a re8ularly
