IMPERIAL Cancer Reaserch shops on Teesside are about to ditch the summer stock and prepare for the winter.

The new collections will be launched in stores in York Road, Hartlepool, and High Street, Redcar, today, and the charity is inviting all regular shopping addicts to view the stock.

Ann Thompson, regional manager for the charity, said: "Picking up a bargain couldn't be simpler. We always stock a wide range of good quality clothing at a fraction of the price of most High Street stores. Why not give your wardrobe a complete makeover to see you through the colder months?

"We have also been stocking up on some fantastic clothes to launch the new season, but don't delay - someone else may bag the bargain of your dreams."
