Children's Hospice South West (CHSW) is opening a new shop at Unit 2 Townsend Road on 14th February at 10am.

The shop will be open 9am to 5pm Monday to Saturday and 10am to 4pm on Sunday and will stock a wide variety of good quality pre-loved items including, clothes, accessories, collectables, toys and games and books and media.

CHSW Area Manager Rhian Timms said: "We are delighted to be opening a shop in Shepton Mallet, we have already received a wonderful warm welcome from the local community, with offers of stock donations and a lot of interest in the shop which is absolutely fantastic. We are also always grateful donations during shop opening hours, and can accept ladies' clothing, shoes, jewellery and accessories, children's clothing, toys, games and books, men's clothing, homeware and bric-a-brac.''

The charity is keen to hear from people who might like to volunteer or donate pre-loved items to them. As they say, you'll be helping to make a difference to local families whose children are not expected to reach adulthood.
