MARY Stevens Hospice celebrated the first anniversary of its Kinver shop being open after a successful year.

The shop, in Kinver High Street, has had a fabulous year since it opened last February with many people supporting the charity.

In the past year the shop has raised £36,000 for Mary Stevens Hospice.

The shop has a manager, Sue Sheehan, a relief manager and ten volunteers who help run it.

On its first anniversary the manager and staff decorated the shop and held a raffle to attract people and rally up support for the hospice.

Event co-ordinator for Mary Stevens Ann Isherwood said: "This shop has had a remarkable and fabulous year to raise all that money."
