Charity Chicks back in business
A UNIQUE clothing store will open its doors once again this weekend to raise money for a children’s charity.
Last summer volunteers from SAFE@LAST opened Charity Chicks for one weekend only, selling men's, women's and children's clothes and accessories donated by supporters.

SAFE@LAST, which provides support for young people at risk through running away from home, does not have any full time charity shops but a team of dedicated volunteers have been busy working on the project.
Volunteer Jo Gibbs, said: "We are very excited that Charity Chicks is returning this year.
“Many of SAFE@LAST's glamorous and elegant supporters have once again given a phenomenal response to our requests for donations with many high quality and designer clothes and accessories being donated.

The premises on Laughton Road, Dinnington, have been provided free of charge by Yorkshire Windows.
Jo added: “Hazel Yarlett from Yorkshire Windows is also a regular volunteer and fund-raiser for the charity and without the use of these premises the shop simply could not go ahead.”
