Appeals
York Store Upgrading, 2007-9
An appeal was launched in 2007 to raise the capital funds to pay for a major expansion and upgrading of the York Store at the Raylor Centre.
A very generous response was received from various local trusts, churches and other organisations, which enabled us to achieve our objectives. In the first phase, a new mezzanine floor, stairs and lift were all installed, with fireproofing and new lighting. This created a bigger and brighter store. Our landlord replaced the shell of the warehouse and made other improvements, so there are no longer strategically placed buckets for when it rains!
In the second phase we created a new customer reception and office area, disabled access WC, and workshops for cleaning furniture and testing electrical goods. The upgraded store was officially reopened by Hugh Bayley, MP, in September 2009.
