YMCA England and Wales officially opened a new shop on Thursday, June 7.

Lisa Aldous, shop manager, and Tim Sweeting, YMCA Norfolk CEO, held the ribbon as John Rockliff, a current YMCA Norfolk trustee, gave a short speech and officially declared the store open.

The Norwich store opening was supported by YMCA Simon Green, head of retail, employees and volunteers from across Norfolk.

Money raised in these stores through the sale of donated goods is used to help transform the lives of young people across 700 communities.

There is currently a section of clothing and shoes from Wimbledon available at discount prices for tennis fans.
