Saint Michael's and Cancer Research UK shops reopen locally
Saint Michael's Hospice and Cancer Research UK's charity shops in the Harrogate district will be opening their doors next week as they try to recover from financial losses during the pandemic.
The two charities rely heavily on money raised from the shops and are eager to reopen once more.
For local charity Saint Michael's, most of its shops will reopen on Monday, while those in Boroughbridge, Knaresborough, Jennyfield Drive and 149 King's Road in Harrogate are reopening on Tuesday.
Donations can be dropped off on Tuesdays and Fridays each week but customers are advised to call the shop beforehand.
The donation drop-off point on Hookstone Wood Road is no longer in operation.
Saint Michael’s chief executive Tony Collins said:

The charity has predicted its fundraising income will decline by £300million over the next three years, due to the pandemic.
Anticipating a staycation boom, Cancer Research UK is asking for donations of men, women and children's summer clothing. Any items can be dropped off in store.
