A charity shop celebrating its anniversary has offered the people of Huyton a cheap cup of tea and a place to "unburden their troubles" for 40 years.
The Fourth Dimension Trust charity shop has been part of the fabric of Huyton town centre for 40 years. First opened in 1981, the Ecumenical charity shop has raised over £400,000 in funds for a variety of local and Christian Aid initiatives including water projects in Mali and Ethiopia.
But some of the shop's best and most important work is also sometimes the simplest. Since it opened the little shop, found at 1 Sherborne Square, has supported anyone who's needed to "unburden their troubles".
