Richmond's Princess Alice Hospice charity shop reopens this week.

The shop in Hill Street is reopening on Thursday, July 30.

The news will be welcomed to hospice supporters, bargain hunters and anyone wishing to have a post-lockdown clearout.

Many charity shops in the Richmond area have already had to stop accepting donations because they're received so many!

The Princess Alice Hospice charity runs one of the largest local hospices, providing end-of-life care, in nearby Esher.

It has a number of charity shops in Surrey and South West London.

In an update on its website, the charity said: "Thank you for your patience while our shops have been closed.
