A new charity shop is set to open its doors for the first time ahead of the busy Christmas period.

The South Bucks Hospice will open a new retail outlet in the central shopping area in Chalfont St Peter, becoming the charity shop’s second branch to open in the county this year.

Other outlets across Buckinghamshire are based in Amersham, Hazlemere and Bourne End respectively.

The charity also has an eBay store and two shops at the reuse sites.

One of the reuse sites recently won the Civic Amenity of the Year Award from Let’s Recycle.

South Bucks Hospice CEO Jackie Ward said: “We are delighted to be opening another shop in South Bucks, it’s a great way for us to get to know the local community better.”
