🎉💗 HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY TO OUR GYAP CHARITY SHOP! 💗🎉

One year ago today, on the 4th November 2025, we signed the lease for our charity shop, and WOW… what a year it’s been! 🥳

What started as an idea has grown into something truly special, and we couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve achieved in just 12 months!

💰 £83,697.54 IN TOTAL INCOME!

This includes charity shop sales and funding received between November 2025 and September 2026. An incredible achievement for our small charity!

But the biggest achievement of all isn’t the money raised. It’s the amazing people who make it all possible. ❤️

💗 OUR GYAP FAMILY! 💗

Our wonderful volunteers are the absolute heart and soul of our charity shop. They give up their own time, day after day, to keep our doors open, welcome our customers, sort through donations and make our shop the special place it is today.

Without them, we simply couldn’t do what we do!

Their dedication allows us to generate vital unrestricted income, helping us continue to deliver and develop youth services for the children and young people of Golspie.

And anyone who has spent five minutes in our shop will know… there is NEVER a dull moment! 🤣❤️

The laughter, friendships, memories and occasional chaos are what make our little GYAP family so special!

♻️ We’ve also achieved so much in our first year, from developing our reuse and repair activities and introducing our community Borrow Box to building connections with ILM Highland, the Highland Climate Hub and Circular Communities Scotland.

We’re incredibly grateful to Highland Council for the Reuse and Repair funding that enabled us to employ our fantastic Charity Shop Manager, Amanda. 💗

A huge thank you to our trustees, funders, partner organisations and every single person in our wonderful community who has supported us.

Whether you’ve donated, shopped, volunteered, shared our posts or simply popped in for a blether, you’ve all played a part in our journey.

As we prepare to celebrate at our Awards Night on Friday 13th November, we can’t wait to recognise some of the incredible people who have helped make this first year possible! 🏆💗

One year, one little charity shop, countless memories and one amazing GYAP family! ❤️

Here’s to many more years of laughter, friendships and making a difference together!

THANK YOU, GOLSPIE! 💗🎉

🚗 A POLITE PARKING REMINDER 🚗

We kindly ask all customers and visitors to please avoid parking directly outside our charity shop.

We have a car park conveniently located directly opposite the shop, and we would really appreciate it if everyone who is able to could make use of it. 🅿️

Parking directly outside the shop can make it difficult for pedestrians to see oncoming traffic and for drivers to see people crossing the road, creating a safety concern for everyone, particularly children and older members of our community.

💚 Everyone’s safety is our priority, and we want to make sure visiting our shop is as safe as possible.

We completely understand that some customers may have mobility difficulties, and we appreciate everyone’s individual circumstances.

Thank you all for your understanding, cooperation and continued support of our little charity shop! 💚
