A brand new charity shop is set to open its doors at 20 Broad Street, March at the end of May.

The Arthur Rank Hospice Charity Shop will replace the former Quality Discount Store on the street.

The shop is now looking for new volunteers to support its opening by helping with tasks such as managing stock, serving customers, meeting supporters, and accepting donations.

Volunteers are welcome to work hours that suit them, whether it's a few hours a week or a regular commitment.

Laura Denney, Retail Area Manager for the North at the Arthur Rank Hospice Charity, said: "We are incredibly grateful for the support of our volunteers, who play a vital role in the day-to-day operations at our charity shops across Cambridgeshire.

"By volunteering with us, individuals not only help to raise vital funds for the Hospice and it’s much needed services, but also become part of a warm and welcoming community, where they can learn new skills, make new friends, and make a real difference to the lives of local people."
