This partnership allows us to expand our support for the community in a creative and engaging way. The shop not only offers a wide range of vintage and retro items but also serves as a vibrant space where people can connect, share stories, and support those in need.”
The Old Courts team is equally enthusiastic about the collaboration. Senior Digital Marketing & Communications Manager, Megan Ball, said: “We’re so excited to welcome The Brick into our building.
