Jan Harper, head of retail, said: “Durrington is one of our largest St Barnabas House furniture shops. Last year alone, our incredible team of volunteers processed and sold more than 80,000 items that had been generously donated by the community.

“The profit made by the shop last year would pay for nine days of all care services provided by St Barnabas House. We would like to thank everyone for their support over the last 20 years.”

The Durrington shop sells furniture, bric-a-brac and items for the home. The shop can collect and deliver large items of furniture.

It also sells ladieswear, menswear, children’s clothes and a full range of accessories and is always looking for donations.
