HIGH NOTE: Musician Neil Chambers performs in the window of Shelter’s Darlington shop as part of the company’s window display competition
A CHARITY store attracted the attention of shoppers yesterday when a musician appeared in its window display.
Shelter, in Post House Wynd, in Darlington, created a music display and hired piper Neil Chambers as part of a competition across the region’s 21 shops to arrange the best window.
The idea was thought up by shop manager Jodie Tassi who wanted to do something fun and a little different to mark the shop’s recent opening.
Ms Tassi said: “One of the main reasons I wanted to do it is because charity shop windows are renowned for being a bit drab and not very inviting.”
Area manager Chris Broom said: “The charity is not just about the homeless. It’s also about helping people in bad and inadequate housing.”
