PKAVS Exciting New Pop Shop Opens It's Doors!

PKAVS is a leading local charity that enhances lives and connects communities throughout Perth & Kinross. Their vision is a Perth & Kinross where all communities are inclusive and all local people reach their full potential. To help achieve this vision, PKAVS have embarked on a new retail adventure where they are hoping to raise the funds to support their vital work in the local community.

PKAVS Pop Shop’s Grand Opening took place on Saturday the 29^th of October at 133 South Street in Perth. Cutting the ceremonial ribbon were The Provost Liz Grant, PKAVS Chairman Andy Chan and PKAVS’ very special Carer, Ida.

The day was a fun filled event for the whole family allowing the first look at the fashionable and chic goods on offer in the boutique store. Customers turned up in large numbers to browse and buy unique items, raising a staggering £700 for the charity.

This is PKAVS first ever Charity Shop and they were delighted to see so many local supporters popping in and joining them on this fantastic new venture. They're especially grateful to their fantastic volunteers and everyone who has donated their pre loved items to help make the shop a success.

The shop will be managed by skilled Perth retailer Joanne Eagleton who has over 20 years’ experience in the sector. Opening hours will be 9-5 Tuesday to Saturday and everyone is welcome to pop by for a visit. Pop in for a good rake around and pick up some Christmas pressies whilst your at it!
