Last night's announcement is great for our charity shops in Exeter, Sidmouth and Honiton. They'll be re-opening after the national lockdown comes to an end next week.
Although you might know them as charity shops, these stores are part of our social enterprise that offers work experience, employability and Supported Internships to the young people at WESC Foundation.

Thanks for all your support.
