Cancer Research Shop, Greenock opens after COVID-19. Janette Watt, manager, front, with Sarah Thompson and Olivia Cassidy, right. A GREENOCK charity shop is hoping business will be brisk now that it has reopened.

To be honest my main worry is seeing all our customers again and making sure they are okay.
