Hello this is your Sheffield Daily Bulletin for August 8th 2023. Here are the top stories.
00:05
Dozens of people queued on the Moor yesterday for the opening of the new St Luke's Hospice store.
00:10
The line of customers were first into the new and unique store where pulp drummer Nick Banks
00:16
was also present for a meet and greet. The clothing store has dropped traditional female
00:21
and male sections and sizing sections instead opting for a colour-coded shop floor. £10,000
00:30
worth of bespoke roasted coffee was stolen in a seemingly professional raid on a warehouse
00:36
of local suppliers Cafeology. The heist which has been branded bizarre by co-founder Brian
00:42
Uncles involved the robbers drilling a hole through the warehouse wall before loading a van
00:47
with the 10 grand coffee haul. Mr Uncles told the Star he believed the raid was obviously targeted.
00:55
And finally a former Conservative councillor who quit the party over its national politics
01:00
has endorsed Labour's parliamentary candidate for the Rother Valley. Councillor Tracy Wilson,
01:05
now an independent member of Rotherham Council, told local democracy reporting service she was
01:10
backing Labour's Jake Richards for the 2024 general election. Mr Richards is hoping to
01:16
reclaim the seat for Labour after Alexander Stafford became Rother Valley's first ever Tory
01:21
MP in 2019. As always you can find all the stories mentioned in today's bulletin in full on our
01:27
website.

01:46
This today is a fantastic occasion for us because we're now open or about to be open in a couple of
01:52
minutes in the heart of the city and what a fantastic shop the team at St Luke's and everybody
01:58
around all the professionals have created and I want to thank them very much for all the work
02:02
they've done and I know that you as customers are going to come and have a great time in here
02:06
and that's so important because every penny that we make in profit from this shop goes back to
02:12
help support the 2,000 patients and all their families that we care for in our facilities
02:18
around Sheffield and in everybody's homes that needs them. So without further ado I'm going to
02:22
hand over to my colleague Catherine Birkett and just to say Catherine has been the driver and the
02:28
passion behind this project. She's done a great job, she's going to do all the efficient intros
02:32
then we'll cut the ribbon and we'll get you inside. Thank you for being here, over to Catherine.
02:36
Thank you Peter, good morning everybody. As Peter says thankfully the sun is shining,
02:48
this is I think this is the first sunshine that we've seen in the last month in Sheffield and I
02:53
just really briefly want to take the opportunity to say how proud we are as a local charity in
02:59
Sheffield to be here in the city centre. So as a charity and a local business this will be our
03:05
14th store and we trade online as well so please do look at our eBay shop. We are really really
03:11
proud to contribute to the local economy and really really proud that every single item in
03:16
this shop has been donated by people like you people of Sheffield. So thank you.
