North Street has welcomed a new charity shop, MIND. Opened at 11am today with Sudbury's Mayor, Councillor Alison Owen, cutting the ribbon to let in the long waiting crowd. Offering all things big and small, the charity shop is packed for all to browse through.
Jon Neal, the Chief Executive says 'The Sudbury Mind store is the fourth in Suffolk that we’ve opened jointly with the national charity – meaning a third of the profits will go directly to benefiting local people through Suffolk Mind support and services.
“But it’s not just about raising vital funds. The stores also provide much needed volunteering opportunities. People who volunteer are twice as likely to be meeting their emotional needs, and therefore avoiding stress and having good mental health. And it’s also an opportunity for people to find another life for their pre-loved items.
“We’re really pleased to be in Sudbury through this wonderful store, and we hope it will be busy for many months to come.”
MIND is a charity making mental health an everyday priority. Find out how you can get involved by visiting the shop today!
