YMCA in Anglia Square has become a popular destination for charity shoppers in the city, with a focus on furniture and clothing. However, the store has recently closed temporarily while waiting for paperwork to be completed for a new shop location. The closure was due to water ingress, causing a maintenance issue. The YMCA spokesperson said they are hoping to move to a nearby unit of similar size and are currently awaiting the completion of a new lease.
Once the lease is finalized, the YMCA plans to reopen as soon as possible with the same great mix of stock. The charity believes that their shops play a central role in their communities, as the money raised from these stores directly goes towards transforming the lives of young people in the area. In the meantime, those looking to support the YMCA and shop can visit their other nearby stores in Castle Quarter and St Stephens Street.
The closure of the YMCA store in Anglia Square has left many regular thrifters disappointed. This store had become a go-to destination for those looking for affordable furniture and clothing. However, the closure is temporary, and the YMCA is working diligently to secure a new location for the shop. The spokesperson for the charity explained that the closure was caused by water ingress, which required maintenance before reopening.
The YMCA is hopeful to move to a nearby unit that is similar in size to their previous location. They are currently awaiting the completion of a new lease, at which point they plan to reopen their doors. The charity is eager to maintain the same great mix of stock that has made their shop so popular among city thrifters. The closure has not only affected shoppers but also impacts the YMCA’s ability to raise funds to support their programs and activities for young people in the area.

These locations offer a variety of second-hand goods and clothing, with all proceeds directly going towards transforming the lives of young individuals in the community. The YMCA sees their charity shops as an essential part of their mission to make a positive impact on the lives of young people. So, although the closure of their Anglia Square store is a setback, they are determined to reopen in a new location soon and continue their important work in the community.
