Sue Ryder is one of the largest charity retailers in the UK with over 400 shops. Every item sold in our shops generates funding so we can continue to provide 2.7 million hours of expert medical, practical, bereavement and emotional support every year, in our hospices, in people's homes and in the community. We are here to make sure that everyone approaching the end of life or living with grief can access the support they need.

We have a much-loved presence on high streets across the country - with a range of innovative shops, including boutiques, vintage and retro shops, and large format stores.

You will also be contributing to drive up the income that generates the vital funds necessary to keep our care and support services running.

We have every Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and Boxing Day off.

The shop has been located on the busy high street, opposite Ye Olde Griffin Hotel since 2003. We have full disabled access and free parking is available in the town's City Road car park.
