THE KIRKWOOD Hospice shop in Heckmondwike is moving to new premises.

The new shop, in the Northgate Retail Centre, will be opened at 10am on Friday April 24 by Craig Harper, a semi-finalist in Britain’s Got Talent contest.

Mike Briggs, the store manager, said: “Everyone in the team is excited about our move to a brand new shop, in a part of the town which is being extensively regenerated.

Kirkwood Hospice needs to raise £3.2m this year from voluntary sources, much coming from sales in their stores, to continue.
