BASKETBALL star James Hamilton will officially open the new Hospice of the Good Shepherd store in Overpool.

The BiG Storage Cheshire Jets player will cut the ribbon at the grand opening of the Overpool Road shop today.

Promotions and retail manager Honora Crisp said: “We hope that our local community will support us with their purchases and donations of their quality unwanted goods.

“I am very pleased to have joined the hospice at such an exciting time. As well as the opening of our new Overpool shop we have recently launched a new furniture showroom at our Lottery HQ based in Whitby.”
