    A new charity shop will open on Ripon's high street in the Autumn. It will take over the empty unit previously housed by Fulton's Food.

    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.

    Juliet Glendinning, director of brand and relationships at Yorkshire Cancer Research, said:

    “We are thrilled to be opening our latest shop in this fantastic location in the heart of such a thriving community.
    "They become a key part of the community, providing both employment and volunteering opportunities and contributing to a busy high street by putting otherwise empty premises to good use.
    “As well as boosting skills, our volunteer roles help to combat isolation and loneliness in local communities.”


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