ST Luke's Hospice's is celebrating a successful first few days for its new Nantwich store.

The new shop, in Pepper Street, was officially unveiled on Thursday, August 10, by Cllr Penny Butterill, mayor of Nantwich.

The Nantwich town crier also caught the attention of passers-by on a successful opening day, which saw staff, volunteers and Board members welcome customers through its doors.

Cllr Penny Butterill, mayor of Nantwich, said: “I have always been a great supporter of St Luke’s, our local hospice.

"I am delighted they have regained a presence in the town and I am sure the people of Nantwich will show their support to such a worthwhile cause.”

Stocked with second hand goods, the store is urgently appealing for more donations after a busy first few days.

Carole DeRosa, area sales manager, added: “We’d like to thank the public for coming along to the opening of our Nantwich store and for donating items but we don’t want them to stop there.

"We are constantly in need of clothes, shoes, jewellery, books, bags and more.

"People can pick up one of our new collection bags instore and return to any St Luke’s shop."
