Chilwell shoppers were delighted to see comedian Paul Chuckle at the opening of Nottingham's newest charity shop and donation centre. The new Marie Curie shop at West Point Shopping Centre is the first of it's kind in the UK offering a place to donate, shop and also talk to trained ambassadors about services.
Paul has been an ambassador for Marie Curie for many years and says that the charity only have to call to get him to come to help out. He has a particular love for Nottingham as Theatre Royal was a favourite place to perform for him and his late comedy partner Barry. Barry sadly passed away in 2018.
"I love Nottingham as it has our favourite theatre in the country. I keep saying ours but Barry is no longer with us, although he is still with me. It's our favourite by far as we did our 50th pantomime here and they put a plaque on a seat to mark it. I love the city, the people are fabulous. They used to come to see us at Skeggy as well," he said.
