Caring Together Charity is celebrating opening its first-ever shop in the heart of King’s Lynn.
The charity, which supports unpaid carers across Norfolk, Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, began welcoming customers into its exciting new store in the town’s High Street today.
Located near the Tuesday Market Square, Caring Together Charity’s shop will offer visitors the chance to discover pre-loved treasures, find great bargains and support a cause that makes a real difference to the lives of carers in the local community.
Every donation and purchase will help fund the charity’s vital work supporting carers of all ages who look after family members, partners or friends with long-term illnesses or disabilities.
Money raised from the shop will help provide essential advice and information services for unpaid cares, alongside practical and emotional support to ensure they feel valued and are not struggling alone.
Shop Manager Belinda Jones said: “We’re incredibly excited to open our very first-ever charity shop.
“This is about so much more than selling pre-loved items, it’s about bringing the community together and making a real difference to unpaid carers to remind them they aren’t on their own and that they deserve support.
“We can’t wait to welcome everyone through our doors!”
Belinda added that donations of good-quality items, including clothing, accessories, homeware, toys, games, linens, small electricals, are welcome to be dropped off during the shop’s opening hours – Monday to Saturday from 9am-4pm.
She also wants to encourage more local people to join the shop’s growing volunteer team and become part of this exciting new community venture.
“Whether you can volunteer for a few hours each week, a full day, or on a more flexible basis, every contribution is vital,” said Belinda.
“We welcome volunteers from all backgrounds and levels of experience, and we will work with you to find a role that matches your interests, skills and availability.”
