A CHURCH is urging people to visit its shop, which is raising money for a £500,000 project.

St Mary’s Church has opened Deane Charity Shop at 292 Wigan Road, Deane.

It will raise funds for a new community hall for the area, which will replace the current memorial hall in Junction Road.

The shop sells a range of items, including clothes, books, toys and bric-a-brac.

Deane Charity Shop is open on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 10am until 4pm, and Saturdays from 10am until 1pm.
