The manager of a town charity shop has shared their devastation after the ceiling collapsed overnight leaving water flooding into the street.

The East Anglia's Children's Hospices charity shop in Leiston, east Suffolk, announced it will "remain closed until further notice."

An area manager is on-site assessing the damage, who said: "We’re very sad to say the shop has experienced a bad flood overnight, but we’re pleased to say everyone is ok.

"The team is assessing what may have caused this and have inevitably started the significant clear-up operation.

"The shop will of course remain closed until further notice."

Sue Shilton, who saw the aftermath of the ceiling collapse said: "I'm glad everyone is ok, it's such a shame they have to deal with all the mess."
