Scott Purdon, Regional Retail Manager CHSS, said: “We are delighted to be opening a new boutique store in Lanark.

“We have had wonderful support from our new customers today, and I know when we were working on the refit we received great support from the locals which is fantastic.”

The new boutique is set to be busy and is in need of volunteers to help run the shop and also needs high-quality donations to fill its shelves.

Said Carol Kelly, the boutique manager: “It’s been amazing to see the shop transform into the fabulous boutique it is now, I can’t wait to get going!

“We have some fantastic volunteering opportunities available.”
