The manager of a charity shop has been left devastated after it lost most of its stock in a fire. Police were called to reports of a fire at the Scope charity shop on Albany Road, Cardiff at around 3.30am this morning Friday, June 9.
The incident closed the road until 7.30am. The shop lost most of its donations in the incident and will be closed for the foreseeable future but the charity has confirmed it will reopen, although no date has been set.
Although no one was injured and the police are not treating the fire as suspicious, the staff and volunteers are now dealing with the loss of stock from the event. Shop manager Catherine Gibbous got the news at 7am this morning that there had been a fire at the shop she has worked at for over a decade.
