Sue Dust, office manager at the centre, said: "This is a fantastic milestone of which we are all extremely proud.

"A massive shout out goes to Sheila Watson, our fantastic shop manager, who continues to put so much heart, care and hours into ensuring that it is not just a charity shop but a warm and welcoming community asset, her amazing window displays never cease to add a special wow factor.

"But even more importantly - our customers and supporters, without whom there would be no shop, thank you from the bottom of our hearts."
