A charity is opening new shops across Southampton.

Sue Ryder, a national end-of-life care and bereavement charity, is launching new stores on Market Street, Thornhill Park Road, Bishops Waltham, Hedge End, and Fair Oak.

The shops are taking over former Revitalise Respite Care locations, with the existing retail team staying in place.

Wayne Hughes, regional manager, said: "Taking on these new stores in Southampton is an exciting retail development for Sue Ryder.

"We want to make a really positive impact on the community, providing valued volunteering opportunities and offering shoppers affordable options and the chance to re-use pre-loved items.

"We can’t wait to welcome more local shoppers through the doors and hope they come in their droves to browse the rails, bag a bargain or two and help fund the hospice care and bereavement support we offer."

The charity is also encouraging people to volunteer at the new stores to help with sorting, merchandising, and sales.
