A HIGH street charity shop in Colwyn Bay will close its doors next week.

The St David's Hospice store on Station Road will shut on Friday, 13 December after several years at the premises.

The shop, which raises money for the charity to help provide end of life care, currently has a 'closing down' sale.

The charity said the decision to close the shop was made "with regret" and that the move had "not come easy to us".

St David's Hospice thanked staff members, volunteers and supporters for their work during what it described as "difficult times".

A St David's Hospice spokesperson said: "Raising the level of funds required to keep our hospice services running is an ever-increasing challenge.

"As a charity we have a responsibility to ensure that all our efforts are directed towards maximising income to keep delivering end-of-life care for our patients.

"It is with regret that we announce the closure of our Colwyn Bay shop.

"This decision has not come easy to us as a charity which depends on the support of local people.

"We are grateful to our staff and volunteers for all their efforts in helping to sustain our services and for their support during these difficult times.

"We would like to express our gratitude to all who have supported the shop over the years."
