Preston cancer charity celebrates quarter of a century offering a comforting hand to those in need
Shop manager Avril Scott added:"I've only been there five years, but memories of staggeringly generous donations of excellent quality items coming through the door make me smile. The shop has evolved over the years and looks more like a regular shop than a charity shop now. Covid was very disruptive. Initially we were closed like all the other non-essential businesses.""Our longevity, our volunteers and a warm welcome to all our customers.
Currently 15 volunteers cover 12 shifts - two on each shift alongside and volunteer gardener Steve who keeps the place looking lovely. CancerHelp is always looking for new volunteers to help in their shops in Longridge and Garstang or at their Support Houses in Ribbleton and Garstang.
