A NEW charity shop for pre-loved furniture has opened in Colchester.
St Helena Hospice has begun welcoming customers to their latest shop in the town.
The shop, located at 80 Magdalen Street, specialises in pre-loved furniture, and boasts a wide range of sofas, cabinets, drawers, beds, and home furnishings.
All items available to buy have been donated to the hospice and proceeds from sales go towards the charity which supports those facing incurable illness and bereavement.
St Helena Hospice’s Magdalen Street Furniture is open Monday to Saturday from 9am to 5pm and 10am to 4pm on Sunday.
