Second charity store to open

SALVATION Army Trading Company is set to open its second new Edinburgh charity shop in less than a month – and is appealing for volunteers to help run it.

Following on from the opening of a shop in Leith last month, the organisation will be launching a new shop, at 26 Forrest Road, on 20 May.

Prospective volunteers are invited to attend a registration event at the shop on 19 May between 11am and 3pm.

The Forrest Road shop will be the sixth Salvation Army Trading Company Shop in the city selling donated goods including clothes, accessories, bric-a-brac and household items. Profits go to the Salvation Army to help fund its social and community work throughout the UK.
