A popular charity shop is set to shut down its shop in Southampton city centre.

The Cancer Research UK store on East Street will permanently close on February 1, according to signs on the door and in the front window.

The charity shop - which sells everything for £5 or less - runs other stores in Portswood and Shirley.

A sign of the front door says: "This shop is closing Saturday 1st February.

"Thank you for supporting our shop."

The store accepts a wide range of donating, including clothing, quality homeware, linens, books, CDs, DVDs and mobile phones.

It does not accept white goods like fridges and washing machines or anything that is damaged or broken.

The shop opens seven days a week and the Cancer Research website says that volunteers are needed 'every day of the week.'

Cancer Research UK has been contacted for further details on why the shop is shutting.
