A Burnham-On-Sea charity shop in the town centre is set to expand after announcing plans to take over an empty premises next door.
The Children’s Society shop at 53 High Street will temporarily close for around a month while work takes place to merge its current store with the former Italian restaurant unit beside it.
In a statement, the charity says: “We’re expanding! Our last day of trading will be Saturday 10th January, as we will be temporarily closing for approximately 4–5 weeks while we carry out a refit.”
The shop also announced that Thursday 8th January will be the final day it can accept donations before the temporary closure.
The team added: “Thank you so much for continued support — we can’t wait to welcome customers back soon with our new and improved space.”
The expansion will create a larger retail area for the charity, which raises funds to support vulnerable children and young people across the UK.
The former Italian Ogni Volta restaurant closed last year. The premises was previously Home Hardware.
