shop.

Star Chase provides care and support to life-limited children and their families
and Miss Collins, a Patron of the charity, will officially open its shop on
Queen’s Road, Weybridge at 11am. After opening the shop, she will then help to
serve the first few lucky customers.
For the
launch of the boutique shop, Miss Collins has donated a number of exclusive
items from her own collection. The items, including designer bags and clothing
worn by the actress, offer people the chance to own a piece of history and will
be available to buy at the shop after the grand opening on Friday.

Star Chase’s Director of Fundraising, Karen Sugarman, said: “We are absolutely
thrilled and overwhelmed that our Patron, Joan Collins, is opening and
supporting our fabulous new shop in Weybridge. She has been a fantastic
supporter of the charity for many years – appearing on Celebrity Deal or No
Deal, Celebrity Who wants to be a Millionaire and hosting endless fundraising
events – and we are so grateful for the huge difference she makes to our vital
cause.”

Star CHASE provides care and emotional and practical support for children with
