Derbyshire based Valley CiDS, a charity supporting children, young people and families in Derbyshire, are pleased to announce that they have opened their newest Lighthouse Charity Shop in Chapel-en-le-Frith, Derbyshire.
The shop was officially opened by Chapel Parish Councillor Tony Dales and children from Chapel-en-le-Frith CofE VC Primary School, who were amazing. The new Lighthouse Charity Shop is located on the main road through Chapel-en-le-Frith, High Street.
The shop welcomed customers and others from the local community. Staff and volunteers from Valley CiDS were also on hand to welcome everyone and celebrate this special occasion.
CEO of Valley CiDS, Ian Tannahill said: “We are excited to be opening our new Lighthouse Charity Shop in Chapel-en-le-Frith. As a charity, we are passionate about engaging and working with local communities and look forward to connecting with the people of Chapel and furthering our work in supporting local children, young people and families.”
The new Valley CiDS Lighthouse Charity Shop, will raise income to support the work of Valley CiDS, working with children, young people and their families. This is through their work in schools where they provide a range of activities, along with out-of-school clubs, youth & community work services in local communities and alternative education provision, for young people who have disengaged with learning or are struggling to access mainstream education.
The charity’s youth team the Blend Youth Project, already work in partnership with other organisations within the High Peak area in Buxton, Glossop and New Mills.
Staff and volunteers will gratefully receive any unwanted clothing, bric-a-brac, soft furnishings, jewellery, books, toys and electrical items.
New volunteers are always needed, so pop in and say hello, as you can always be assured of a warm welcome.
