Hope House Children’s Hospice has today reopened its Nantwich shop following its temporary closure during lockdown.
The move comes after new working practices were brought in to make the shop safe for customers, staff and volunteers.
The opening hours at the High Street shop will be 10am until 4pm for three days a week from Thursday to Saturday.
Head of Retail Angela Whelan said new working practices have been introduced to keep customers and staff safe, including social distancing rules, hand sanitising stations at shop entrances and contactless payment.
“All new donations are being isolated for 72 hours before sorting, in line with current guidelines,” said Angela.
“We have thought carefully about how we can open our stores and keep our staff and customers safe, taking into account social distancing and the new rules.”
Donations of stock can be taken to the Nantwich shop during it opening hours.
Angela is asking people not to leave donations on the street and to phone ahead before travelling because space for isolating donated stock at the store for the required 72 hours is limited.

“We are asking our supporters to only bring us items that they themselves would like to buy.
“In these challenging times it will cost us money to have unsaleable items taken away so we are really keen to receive only good quality saleable clothes, accessories, homeware and bric-a-brac.”
