Homelessness charity Emmaus Leicestershire & Rutland has officially opened its popular Christmas Shop inside the Emmaus Emporium on Stockwell Head, Hinckley.
This year’s festive space is larger than ever before, with even more stock on offer. The shop-within-a-shop features a wide selection of pre-loved Christmas items, including trees, decorations, homeware, wreaths, festive clothing and gift ideas.
Every purchase from the Christmas Shop helps fund Emmaus Leicestershire & Rutland’s ongoing work to support people who have experienced homelessness.
The set-up of the Christmas Shop was once again supported by volunteers from Coventry Building Society’s Risk Management Team, who lent a hand unpacking boxes of donated Christmas stock, decorating trees and arranging displays ready for opening day.
Dawn Wright, Director of Emmaus Leicestershire & Rutland, said: “When we started unpacking the Christmas stock this year, we were overwhelmed by how much we had! Our supporters have been incredibly generous, and it’s turned into a real treasure trove of festive finds – we’ve got Christmas trees, baubles, tinsel, ornaments, wall decorations, garlands, Christmas jumpers and so much more.
It really is a magical space, tucked away towards the back of the Emporium. We’ve tried to make the signage as clear as possible, so follow the signs – or even the sound of the Christmas music – to find our secret festive room!”
The Emmaus Emporium’s Christmas Shop is open Monday to Saturday, from 9am to 5pm, until 23 December. Visit the Emporium at Stockwell Head, Hinckley LE10 1RG.
