A cancer charity has launched a Christmas-themed shopping campaign to raise £200,000.

Wessex Cancer Support's six shops have been transformed into 'Christmas Crackers', offering festive items in categories like 'perfect presents', 'delightful decorations', 'wine and dine', and 'dress to impress'.

The initiative aims to support people affected by cancer during the festive season.

Mark Ellis, Wessex Cancer Support's head of retail, said: "The staff and volunteers in our shops are really excited about making this Christmas our best ever.

"Our shops play such an important role in enabling us to support thousands of local people affected by cancer and their families.

"We hope everyone in our local communities will shop with Wessex Cancer Support this Christmas and help us reach our £200,000 sales target."

The shops, located in Chandler's Ford, Freshwater Isle of Wight, Hythe, Portchester, Weeke, and Westbourne, offer a variety of themed sales, including gifts, toys, games, formal party wear, and more.
