Yorkshire Cancer Research set to open new shop in Ripon
There will be one fewer empty store on Ripon's high street with the addition of a Yorkshire Cancer Research charity shop.
The charity, which was founded in 1925, raises funds to help prevent, diagnose and treat cancer in the county.
Its fourth branch is part of plans to open a network of stores locally. This is the second in the Harrogate district, after the Knaresborough shop opened in 2019.
Taking over the former Fulton's Foods premises at The Arcade, the shop is expected to raise more than £100,000 a year.
The size also means it can accept and sell small furniture and household items.
The charity is planning to open the shop in autumn 2021 and is inviting local volunteers to register their interest.

The store will sell clothing for men, women and children as well as toys and home furnishings.
