Leo Cliffe, one of the young people cared for by the Chorley-based children’s charity, cut the ribbon to officially declare the new store open.
Leo, 20, who lives in Coppull, Chorley, said: “I love coming to Derian House because it gives me a chance to meet up with my friends and have fun.
The staff are lovely and it feels like home.” Located on Fishergate (opposite KFC) the shop is the charity’s first city centre location, and joins the retail network of shops in Chorley, Leyland, Horwich and a warehouse in Adlington.

The charity is looking for volunteers to help run the new shop, especially people with experience in the customer services industry or a background in volunteering.
