A Salvation Army donation centre has officially opened its doors on the Portland Retail Park in Mansfield.
The new site will collaborate closely with the area’s existing Salvation Army, located on Victoria Street in Mansfield, which operates a charity shop and food bank.
Claire Haynes, centre manager, told your Chad of her “excitement” to support the charity and be a part of the Mansfield community.
She said: “We want this site to be a huge part of the community.”
The charity is always looking for volunteers to join the team with a range of roles available.
