Director, Alison Watson, said: “For more than two decades now the Shelter Scotland’s January Stockbridge launch event has been marked in the calendars of Edinburgh’s discerning shoppers.
“Scotland’s housing emergency now means there are more than 10,110 children in Scotland with nowhere to call home and more and more people are becoming homeless.
“Your support keeps us in the fight against homelessness, so ahead of this exciting event I’d like to thank all our customers and donors for their generosity.”
Stockbridge Shop Manager, Peter Jew, added: “I can’t wait to welcome all our customers to our annual January sale event in Edinburgh.
“This is a chance to showcase and celebrate our donations and we’re immensely grateful to everyone who contributed.
“We have a truly magnificent selection on offer, this is a great opportunity to grab something special while supporting Shelter Scotland in the fight against the housing emergency.”
