The last few weeks have probably been some of the busiest we've ever had in the shop, not just in terms of foot-fall but also for the number of changes we've had to make. We miss all the volunteers and customers who can't come into the shop at the moment and we're grateful to all our regular volunteers who have increased their hours in the shop and helped to train up new people, not an easy task when we have to stay two metres apart.
