Past Present Futures has brought a new lease of life to the former Matthew M Henderson jewellers store in Gray Street, and offers a range of high quality yet affordable pre-owned clothing, jewellery, handbags, home accessories and more.

Angela Linton, Hillcrest’s chief executive, said: “After running three successful pop-up charity shops over the past two years, we decided to take the plunge and open our first ever permanent store. The shop has been renovated inside and has a bright and stylish feel to it. All of the money we raise in the shop will go to our Hillcrest Futures’ services.”

Working across Angus, Dundee, Edinburgh, Fife, Glasgow and Perthshire, the charity offers varying levels of support in different settings, but in each case supports people to live full and vibrant lives.
