CREATIVE-thinking from the staff at the Brunel Centre are giving a boost to Christmas Care with a pop-up shop.

The shop will open in the centre on August 30 and 31 and Christmas Care will receive the entire takings for the two days of trading.

Members of The Brunel’s management team, who are giving up their free time to support the charity, will staff it.

Current and former retailers from the shopping centre have donated items for sale, which includes sporting memorabilia, books, jewellery and home furnishings. Shoppers will be able to buy a range of goods at bargain knockdown prices.

The Christmas Care shop will be open from 10am until 5pm on August 30 and 10.30am until 4.30pm on August 31. It will be located in The Brunel Plaza, on the ground floor, near to Boots.
