A new shop and donation centre is set to open in an Ipswich retail park later this month.

The Salvation Army Donation Centre will open its doors on July 22 in the former Next Outlet unit at Suffolk Retail Park, off Handford Road.

Next Outlet closed its doors in February last year, with the news met with sadness.

Just a few months later, however, Salvation Army submitted plans to take over the unit.

The building has undergone changes, with signage being put up and window vinyl signage going up, advertising all of the items that will be in the shop and also what people can donate.

The unit is the first people see when they enter Suffolk Retail Park, which boasts a range of traders including JD Gyms, Home Bargains, The Food Warehouse, The Range and Halfords.
