The Breast Cancer Research Trust is set to open a charity op shop in Hamilton which will provide a much-needed revenue stream for the vital funding the trust needs to make clinical trials and other research happen.
The trust has secured the building at 750 Victoria St (previously the Victoria Street Medical Centre) and work is well under way to renovate and spruce up the building ahead of its opening overseen by op shop project coordinator Sharyn Cawood.
"It's exciting to see the progress our team of builders and volunteers have made at the premises ready for the grand opening," Sharyn said.
"With plenty of parking and a spacious layout, it's set to be a pleasant and enjoyable shopping experience."
Sharyn said while the trust had already received plenty of donations, more were being sought.
