The Helping Hands team shared: "Thank you to all who attended our VIP launch night this evening at our new, vibrant Helping Hands Charity Shop on Oxford Street in Leamington.

"It was lovely to have special guests, corporate supporters, trustees, volunteers and local partners and organisations join us for a warm welcome as we relocate closer to the town centre.

"Feedback was brilliant, with one person saying, "It's such a beautiful space, it doesn't feel like a charity shop" and another saying, "I'm coming back tomorrow to do more shopping!

"The shop is a huge part of our charity with profits coming directly from the shop into our services supporting local people."
