A CHARITY shop has reopened with the support of an MP.

The Sense charity shop, located in Middlesbrough's Hill Street Shopping Centre, raises money to support people with complex disabilities.

The shop reopened this week, with new staff and volunteers, and a new range of stock, including children’s toys.

Urte Bowles, shop manager, said: “It’s really exciting to be leading the team here at the Sense shop and I hope to meet with the local community, so do come along.”

Andy McDonald, MP for Middlesbrough, said: “It was wonderful to meet the new team at the Sense shop at Hill Street and find out how the charity is supporting people with complex disabilities."
