Emergency services responded to a collision after a car reversed into the front of a charity shop yesterday.
It happened on Sunday afternoon at Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity’s Furniture Showroom on Broadfields.
A car accidentally reversed into the front of the building, causing the door, window and surrounding brickwork to crumble.
“I would personally like to thank the emergency services and the staff in the Showroom at the time for their amazing handling of the situation, and to passers-by for their kind assistance in response to this accident,” Lily Caswell, Head of Retail at the charity told Bucks Radio.
“Unfortunately, this accident means that we will have to close the Showroom for now and we will be unable to take any donations until the repairs are made and we are able to reopen safely. With this being our largest shop this will mean a loss of income and donations at one of our busiest times of the year,” says Lily.
“Our other shops will all gladly take any non-furniture or non-electrical donations – the nearest being on the High Street and at Walton Court in Aylesbury; Wendover and Haddenham. We would ask supporters to hold onto their furniture donations until we are able to accept them again.“
