Oxfam is to move back into its original shop in Sudbury four years after it was devastated in a fire - and locals can get a sneak preview before it re-opens through a volunteer recruitment day.
The charity has been in a temporary store in Friars Street ever since the blaze that destroyed historic Goldsmith's Mansion in Market Hill in September 2015.
Now, the store will re-open in its original home on May 23 following a major rebuild of Goldsmith's Mansion.
Deborah Docksey, Oxfam regional volunteer resourcing manager, said the staff were delighted to be moving back in.
"We will be able to sell so many more products that we are currently unable to do because of lack of space, so to be going back is fantastic," she said.
Ms Docksey said the new shop would still stock goods donated by the community but also a new products gift range 'Sourced by Oxfam' and fair trade food. It will also have an online sales department.
The fire, which broke out in the kitchen of a nail bar which was one of a row of shops in Goldsmith's Mansion, was classed by firefighters as one of the biggest and most devastating blazes Suffolk has ever seen.
It brought Sudbury to a standstill on the night and took 15 crews from across Suffolk and Essex around 48 hours to fully extinguish - and brought the town to a standstill for days.
Although no-one was killed or seriously injured, firefighters courageously risked their own lives to save a woman trapped in her second-storey flat above the fire as it raged.
Ms Docksey said Sudbury could be proud of the way people rallied round it help Oxfam in the wake of the fire.
"The fire gutted the shop, we lost everything," she said.
"But the people of Sudbury really did us proud. Once we had a temporary shop sorted out they donated an incredible amount of stuff."
Anyone interested in volunteering to work in the new shop should contact store manager Rachel Boyle.
There are vacancies in a number of areas, including customer service, stockroom support and heads of department.
Volunteers must be aged over 14. No experience is necessary and full training is given, including access to retail NVQ diplomas.
