A charity shop in Kenilworth is appealing for donations from the public after they had to close due to coronavirus.

The Headway shop, on The Square, is calling out for donations of clothing, bric-a-brac, household goods, toys, games, furniture and small electrical items to help them come out of the troubling time.

The charity shop is run by Headway – the brain injury association, which works to support people affected by brain injury and their families.

They are also looking for people who are willing to volunteer in the store.

Julie Ryan, shop manager, said: "We are in need of help from good-spirited local residents who want to make a difference.

"As we rely entirely upon donations, community support is more important than ever to help us continue delivering vital frontline services to brain injury survivors and their families.

"Even the smallest contribution can make a big impact. Simply donating unwanted items will make a huge difference to the support we can continue to offer to those affected by brain injury.

“Likewise, we’re always looking to welcome new volunteers to the team and we have lots of opportunities to get involved - whether it's greeting customers with a friendly smile, sorting through stock or manning the till.”

In line with new COVID-19 guidance, the shop has introduced hand sanitising stations, a one-way shopping system and sneeze guards at the till point.

Donations are also being stored for 48 hours before going on sale.

For more information on volunteering opportunities, call Kenilworth shop manager Julie Ryan on 01926 511 014.
