Following the tragic news that a fire broke out in the building above the South Bridge PDSA charity shop on Saturday 3 June, the vet charity is calling on local supporters to visit their neighbouring charity shop, located on Nicolson Street.
The charity is pleased to confirm that all South Bridge staff and volunteers are safe following the fire. But with the South Bridge shop closed for the foreseeable future the charity needs local support more than ever before.
Fiona Lawrie, Cluster Shop Manager at PDSA said: “Our South Bridge shop only opened last October but it’s quickly become home to a wonderful team of staff and volunteers, as well as many local supporters, and we are very thankful that no one was hurt in the fire.
“We’re waiting to assess the damage, which means we don’t know when we’ll be able to re-open. But we’re hoping the local community will continue to support us by visiting the nearby Nicolson Street shop to help raise funds for local poorly pets.”
PDSA Nicolson Street is located at: 85 Nicolson Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9BZ. All donations to PDSA Nicolson Street are very appreciated during this time.
