A new donation centre is set to open in Wisbech next month. 

The Salvation Army will launch the new charity shop at the beginning of November at the site of the former Topps Tiles store on Cromwell Road. 

The centre is the 53rd of its kind in the UK and will offer affordable items promoting sustainability and upcycling while offering value for money. 

Part of the Salvation Army Trading Company (SATCol), the store will also offer a free collection service that can be booked by calling the team. 

Manager of the donation centre Lorna Hazeltine said: "We have been blown away by the interest in the new donation centre prior to opening.

"We look forward to welcoming the people of Wisbech and carrying on the good work that the Salvation Army do."

Each year, SATCoL reuses and recycles over 250 million items; including 65,000 tonnes of clothing. 

The centre is looking for social media volunteers to help engage with the local community and promote the store.
