AS lockdown restrictions begin to ease, a local charity is preparing to reopen some of its shops to help raise money to ensure its nurses can continue to care for patients.

St Ann’s Hospice, which has clinical teams who have been working on the frontline throughout the pandemic, cares for patients with cancer and other life-limiting illnesses from across Greater Manchester.

They will be opening their Edgeley, Stockport, Heald Green, Altrincham and Romiley shops initially, from June 15.
