On behalf of our wonderful volunteers here in the shop, I would like to thank you all for your support over the years either as past volunteers, donators or shoppers and in some cases all three. We shall miss you all, especially our regulars who stop to chat. The Red Cross will still retain a presence in the Blenheim community through the constant work of the dedicated team at the Service Centre in Redwood Street and you can also reach us on the nationwide phone number 0800 733 2767.
