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.

The shop was a “huge success” raising £3,500 and was so popular that the store will open its doors again on Friday and Saturday to offer more items.

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 shop is only open for a couple of days so we hope lots of people will come while they have the chance and have a look through our rails and find their dream item."

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.”
