In fitting style, 99-year-old Charles Dickens Lodge celebrity Gladys Sparks cut the ribbon for the reopening on Friday, September 15.
The shop was closed for about two weeks as the floors, ceilings and lighting were replaced and the walls painted.
Store manager Beverley Wilson said a new counter had been installed and all of the equipment, including the till, had been replaced.
She said: “The work environment is a lot nicer for staff and volunteers. I am absolutely thrilled, it was so dull before. It feels so clean and airy now.”
The charity shop currently has 10 regular volunteers and is always looking for more people to help out.
Ms Wilson said: “If they can do an hour a week or 20 hours, we will find them something to do. We work around our volunteers. It is like a little family here.” Anyone who wants to help can contact 01833 630103.
