Cancer Research UK has thanked everyone who has supported its Lochee shop as it prepares to close its doors after 25 years.
The shop is in the Highgate Centre, which is due to be demolished as part of the city council’s plan to redevelop the High Street and try to improve its attractiveness for visitors.
The charity said it wanted to pay tribute to the generosity of all the people who had donated or bought items over the years and also thank the staff and volunteers who had put so much effort into making it a success.
Shop manager Shona Duncan said: “We are very sad to close the shop, which is due to the Highgate Centre closing.
“I would like to say a huge thank-you to my team of volunteers who have given up their time over the last 25 years and have done a fantastic job, and to the community for the amazing support we’ve received,” she said.
Loyal customers who still want to support Cancer Research UK after the Lochee shop closes on the June 27 are being invited to use the Broughty Ferry store on Brook Street instead.
There are also other ways of volunteering for the charity, including at events such as this weekend’s Race for Life at Camperdown Park.
Thanks to the generosity of its supporters, Cancer Research UK was able to spend more than £5 million last year in Dundee on some of the UK’s leading scientific and clinical research.
Ninewells Hospital is home to the Dundee Cancer Centre, which brings together doctors, nurses and scientists to collaborate in training the next generation of cancer researchers and support work aimed at taking laboratory studies all the way through to patient treatments.
Area manager for Cancer Research UK, Ken Donaldson, said: “We’re very grateful for the support of the volunteers and customers over the years and we hope they’ll continue to support our work.”
