Cancer Focus has opened a new store in Lisburn, which will also offer on-site counselling services for those affected by cancer.
The new shop opened on Market Square South in the city.
The charity said the store opening comes just days after it revealed its five-year strategy to bring cancer care and support into community settings and high streets across the country.

The store joins 12 others across Northern Ireland which are staffed by volunteers and which help the charity with raising revenue.
Cancer Focus Director of Retail Angela McGrath added: "Our network of retail stores across Northern Ireland plays a crucial role in funding the valuable work that Cancer Focus NI does in supporting those affected by cancer and their families.
"Our new five-year strategy aims to put cancer patients and their families and friends at the heart of cancer care in Northern Ireland, which will be delivered through five new regional cancer support centres.
"Our retail stores are already dotted around Northern Ireland, on high streets and in communities, providing a steady stream of funding for the important work our charity does.
"While they are popular with shoppers and we stock brand new and designer labels for our customers, our stores also provide a more affordable and sustainable option for people, particularly as we continue to deal with the cost-of-living crisis."
She went on to say that she was particularly pleased at the provision of counselling services at the new store.
"A cancer diagnosis can have a devastating impact on cancer patients and their families and professional, therapeutic support is critical at this time.
"Being accessible to clients in settings they’re familiar with, like the high street, goes a long way when people are dealing with cancer.
"Our stores and our team of volunteers offer that accessibility and comfort, providing a listening ear or a welcoming cuppa when people need it most."
Speaking after officially opening the new store on Friday, Mayor of Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council Cllr Andrew Gowan said: "Cancer Focus NI’s new store is a fantastic addition to the high street in Lisburn and a big boost for our city centre.
"As well as providing value for shoppers and bargain hunters looking for the latest in style and fashion, these stores are vital to the success of charities like Cancer Focus NI.
"I was proud to officially open the new store and see first-hand the difference a facility like this will make for those affected by cancer across our city and beyond."
