Vote for Big C’s Furniture & Craft Emporium in The UK’s Favourite Charity Shop Awards

Big C is thrilled that its Furniture & Craft Emporium on Allenbrooks Way in Wymondham has been shortlisted for the Charity Retail Association’s Favourite Charity Shop Awards.

Now in its second year, the Awards, run by the Charity Retail Association, are a chance for people to show their favourite shops how much they mean to them and to celebrate the amazing work being done by dedicated teams.

The Furniture & Craft Emporium is one of only two shops in Norfolk to have been shortlisted and is up against five other shops in the region including Cancer Research, Emmaus Cambridge, Keech Hospice, St Helena Mersea and West Norfolk Deaf Association.

More than 5,000 nominations were received this year and, as part of the process, people were asked to share why they were nominating their favourite shop.

A Wymondham shopper said:

“The shop management team particularly stand out – they give so much time and energy to ensure the shop is as friendly and as successful as possible. Also, the range of goods, you can find almost anything you need!”
