Saint Catherine's has announced that they will be opening a new retail store on their main site in Scarborough.

The new store called 'The Barn Boutique @ Saint Catherine's' will be in Throxenby Lane, Scarborough, and will offer a range of high-quality items including clothing, furniture, and household goods.

The store is set to open its doors on September 11, and all proceeds from purchases made will go directly towards funding the hospice's services across North and East Yorkshire.

The new store at the main hospice site is a relocation of their premises on Victoria Road, which is currently having a "relocation sale" before it ceases trading on August 19. 

Jenny Rowan, the Retail Operations Team Lead, said: “We are incredibly excited about opening a store on site here at Saint Catherine’s. 

"With the help of our wonderful volunteers and support from local businesses, we have converted office and storage areas into a welcoming retail space for our supporters to shop and support their local hospice.

“A charity shop with a difference, inside The Barn Boutique @ Saint Catherine’s you will find handpicked quality items, vintage, designer and luxury high street clothing all at fantastic prices.

"Every penny you spend in our shop will go directly to help fund the services Saint Catherine’s offers across North and East Yorkshire.

“The parking facilities on site will also mean that it is easier for supporters to bring their donations in at the same time as they shop. 

"Our shops play a vital role in raising the funds needed to support patient care but we can only run them with the help of our wonderful volunteers.”
