Myton Hospices to re-open charity shops in Warwick and Kenilworth next week with more to follow soon

On Tuesday (June 16)The shop in Brook Street in Warwick will be the first to open since lockdown began in March, followed by the shop on Warwick Road in Kenilworth on Wednesday (June 17).

They will be open from Tuesday to Saturday and Wednesday to Saturday respectively from 10am to 4pm on each day.

Following government guidance for the safety of shop staff and volunteers and members of the public visiting the shops, the charity has been putting in place measures to ensure there is space for social distancing.

This will include limiting the number of customers allowed in the shop at any one time.

All donations are held for at least 72 hours before being handled, regular stringent cleaning will be undertaken, screens have been put in place at till points, contactless payment is encouraged, and staff and volunteers will have the necessary personal protective equipment.

The shops will not be able to accept donations at this time, but anyone who would like to donate goods to Myton can register their interest in the charity’s collection service which they hope to resume in July at mytonhospice.org/collection

Alternatively, donations of good quality, saleable items can be taken to the shops in Radford in Coventry and Rugby town center, which will reopen as donation stations by the end of June.

Other Myton shops will reopen over the following weeks.
