Already, the charity has shops in Stockton, Middlesbrough, Barnard Castle and Darlington, among others - with this new store in Bishop Auckland noted as their 'flagship store'.

Alongside offering items for sale, furniture donations will be available to the Bishop Auckland store and house removals are also available, according to the charity, but contact has to be made directly with The Butterwick Hospice.
