A NATIONAL charity is set to open a new store in Prestwick later this month.

Chest, Heart & Stroke Scotland has confirmed its plans to open in the town by the end of November.

Job adverts for staff and volunteer roles in the future shop have been appearing online in the last few weeks.

The organisation is Scotland’s largest health charity working to help people with chest, heart and stroke conditions live life to the full.

Its website states: "Everyone should have the right to live life to the full after a stroke or diagnosis of a chest or heart condition.

"Many people living with our conditions experience fear, isolation and loneliness, and struggle to cope with the impact of their health condition on their every day lives.

"But our amazing nurses, support workers and volunteers are here to make sure no one has to recover alone.

"With our community healthcare support service, we ensure that people across Scotland get the support they need to live full lives with life changing health conditions."

It is not known at the moment where the shop will be located within Prestwick, or an exact opening date.
