A CHARITY is opening a new shop in a town.
LOROS will open in High Street East, Uppingham, on Friday next week.
Trading manager Jonathan Capewell said: “The support shown to the hospice by the people of Rutland is greatly appreciated and this store allows us the opportunity to raise funds for patient care and family support.”
The charity currently has another shop in High Street, Oakham.
This September marks LOROS’ 40th birthday since it first opened its doors in 1985.
They say elephants never forget. Now LOROS is keeping that promise with its Remember Me elephant. The mammoth elephant is the work of local artist Anna Shutt, who was inspired by looking through photograph albums of relatives.
LOROS Hospice is pleased to confirm it will receive a share of the Government’s recently announced £75 million capital fund for hospices in England.
