He added: “As there weren’t the same Covid restrictions on the first lockdown, I would meet people at the shop to take in donations.

“It got to the point that the shop was crammed full. When retail got the go ahead to reopen, I couldn’t but went in, sorted through the donations and fed stock out to our other shops.”
