Cluster Manager Anthonie Edisbury said: “My team and I were shocked to find the shop in the state it was in. Almost £400 and items to be sold on eBay were stolen, which is a real shame as all of the money we make from selling donated goods supports people with terminal illnesses, neurological conditions or those coping with bereavement.
"The police and local community’s support has been incredible, so we would like to thank them. If members of the community would like to show their support, then we are able to accept stock and cash donations now that we have reopened.”
