A PROTEST is taking place outside a charity shop in Didcot to help it find a new premise after being told to leave by the landlord.

Changing Lives, at the bottom of Broadway, has to vacate next month after 10 years due to asbestos in the building and structural issues with the roof.

Founder Valerie Prior had managed to find a new building only four doors down but the move fell through this move.

Now a customer of the store is organising a protest outside the store at 12pm this Saturday (October 1) to try and save the shop.

Chloe Prior, who works at the store, said: “They are trying their hardest to save the shop. We want to raise as much awareness as possible to help the charity find somewhere to go.”
