CHILDREN’S charity Barnardo’s has opened its first specialist children's shop in the region, in Bishop Auckland.
The shop, in Newgate Street, was recently dedicated to children’s items as they have always been the most popular range.
Manager Karen Billing said: "Everything is good quality and will be a great place to come for mums-to-be, mums with newborns or toddlers and older children.
"Relatives looking for items to give to new parents will also find plenty to interest them."
Donations, particularly prams and cots, are always in demand.
