Public meeting about closure of Saint Catherine's Hunmanby shop to take place

The event, at the Community Centre in Hunmanby, is on Tuesday February 27 and you can meet Saint Catherine’s CEO Ray Baird, who will be happy to answer questions about the closure.

Saint Catherine’s Hospice took the “very difficult decision” to close the shop, which was based in a building wholly owned by the charity.

Proceeds from this sale will be reinvested to improve and upgrade other retail premises.

A statement from the hospice said: “We understand that this decision will be difficult for the local community and as a hospice charity, we want our services and support to be available in the communities we serve.

"We will be looking for ways we can continue to offer this, including basing one of our new mobile resources regularly in Hunmanby.

People can take suggestions for new ways of working in the Hunmanby area to the public meeting.
