After opening on Friday (June 2), shop manager Liz Scrivens and her team have been busy setting out all of the donated stock. 

She said: “People have been dropping in with donations and offers of help and sales have been encouraging.

Relate aims to provide accessible support aimed at helping people enjoy relationships in every part of life, from colleagues to co-parents, and married couples to best friends.

The new shop is located at 58 High Street, previously home to List Recruitment.

On what brought Relate to Evesham, a spokesperson said: “We were offered the opportunity to collaborate with our national Relate colleagues who have good experience of charity retail. 

“Evesham is a lovely bustling market town and was high on our list of suitable locations. 

“We were delighted to make this the first joint venture of this kind with our national retail team.”
