A spike in donations and demand for furniture and antiques led to Norfolk-based Big C trebling the size of its Allenbrookes Way warehouse.

It previously occupied just one unit and was used as a hub for administration, but the warehouse now houses items of bric-a-brac, collectables, vintage clothing and a craft supplies shop.

Sharon Kinsella, head of retail at the store, said: 'We had started to feel the pinch points with word-of-mouth spreading about the bargains which could be found in our warehouse. People were coming from as far as Beccles and King's Lynn to browse and buy.

'All of the furniture is donated by the wonderful people of Norfolk & Waveney, and helps Big C provide the local services, equipment and research to improve the lives of those affected by Cancer.'

The growth follows a trend of charity shop successes, which saw 9,000 stores boast record profits last year.

The warehouse will open from 9.30am until 4.30pm from Monday to Saturday.
