ST Vincent de Paul held a ‘Customer Appreciation Night’ at its Castle Street store on Thursday and also put out an appeal to the public for more donations.
Shoppers and well wishers called into the store which has been opened since March this year.
Along with loads of clothes to sift through, those attending were made feel at home and treated to sandwiches, cakes and tea while they browsed.

The new store on Upper Castle Street (located opposite the entrance to Presentation Primary School) is beginning to build up a sizeable clientele as it’s the only charity shop on that side of town.
Maeve Leahy, manager of the store, is appealing for donations from the public and for any people who are interested in volunteering for the charity to give a call in.
Despite a perceived upturn in the fortunes of the country, SVP is still as vital as ever helping those who are struggling and with the new school year just around the corner, that need is set to become more pronounced in the coming weeks.
