A CHARITY shop in York is on the move.
Age UK, which until earlier this month had a shop in Walmgate, is moving to a new site - just up the road - in the city's Fossgate.
From the beginning of this week the shop has been welcoming much-needed donations for its new store and inviting second-hand bargain hunters to visit the new shop on its opening day this Saturday.

The charity shop, which supports older people and their families and carers in York, is moving into what was once a pen shop, Signatures.
The charity shop left its Walmgate offices on September 7, and will reopen at 9.30am on the Saturday, October 2, in the new shop, which has been spruced up with a fresh layer of white paint.
