The opening day was celebrated by staff, volunteers and businesses, who came together to unveil the charity shop’s new look.
The Brick’s anti-poverty director Claire Taylor said: “We are excited to be unveiling the new look Gidlow Lane charity shop and I would encourage customers old and new to stop by and see for themselves the amazing transformation that has been made.
“I want to thank Kraft Heinz, Bell and all the businesses who have donated materials and their time to make this refresh project a reality, as without their support we wouldn’t have been able to achieve what we have, in just a few days.
