Duchess of Cambridge in Holt,Norfolk opening a charity shop


Duchess of Cambridge in Holt,Norfolk on Friday March 18th 2016 . The Duchess of Cambridge travelled around 20 miles from her home at Anmer Hall in Sandringham to Holt in Norfolk today (Fri) to open a new charity shop. Kate, who is Royal Patron of East Anglia's Children Hospice (EACH), was welcomed by a crowd of children as she arrived at the organisation's new shop in Holt. The Duchess, who was wearing a blue coat, cut a ribbon with the help of two families, who receive care and help from EACH. She was also given a tour of the new shop and met staff and supporters, including seven EACH shop volunteers, with a combined service of more than 130 years. Holt is the 21st shop in EACH's retail portfolio and forms part of the charity's plans to expand their network of shops over the coming years. Tracy Rennie, EACH director of care said: "We're really looking forward to becoming an integral part of the town's thriving and friendly community, and are confident local residents will help us make the shop a great success. "It's really important for us to have a strong presence in North Norfolk; an area in which many EACH families live and where our specialist staff deliver so much care and support."
