It sells a range of goods, including bric-a-brac, clothing, homewares and other donated merchandise.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>People coming into the store will also be able to get themselves tickets for a raffle with a number of great prizes, including among others a ceramic rose, recently on display at the Tower of London ahead of Remembrance Day. Many of the roses were sold off, but one lucky winner can still get their hands on one if they head to the store.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, the owner of a hair salon in Ruislip has also got into the Christmas spirit in the name of Help for Heroes. Christine Ball, who owns The Cutting Corner in Howlett's Lane, opened a Santa's grotto in her store, transforming it into a winter wonderland to help raise funds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&quot;We do a grotto every year but we wanted to use it to raise money and we thought it would be nice to raise funds for Help for Heroes in particular because of it being the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War this year,&quot; she said.<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ADNFCR-2867-ID-801764622-ADNFCR\"
