A CHARITY shop is closing for a week for refurbishment.

The Cancer Research Shop at Market Place West, Ripon, will close tomorrow and re-open on Monday, March 7.

Staff hope that by giving the shop a new look they will be able to attract more people through the doors as either donors, customers or volunteers.

Shop manager Sue Jones said: "Cancer Research UK has chosen our Ripon store to lead the way in raising its profile and extending its role in the community.

"The new look will be good for the shop and the charity."
