A charity shop is celebrating raising its first million after 18 years of business in Redcar's High Street.

The Imperial Cancer Research Fund shop opened in 1983, and the volunteer team, shop manager and area manager will attend a celebratory dinner at the Claxton Hotel, in Redcar, tomorrow.

Ann Thompson, area retail manager, said: "The volunteering team has been an amazing credit to the store. they provide the friendly atmosphere and help keep us at the heart of the community."
