Jewellery Donations wanted. Jewellery sales are actually one of our stores biggest sellers, and that money helps keep us supporting charitable causes the world over. So if your jewellery boxes are getting too full, consider emptying it out, keeping only what you really want, while the rest goes to our wonderful shoppers who have the space for it. You get more room for new jewellery, and we get to keep fighting for Oxfam!

A good quality of men's clothes. Please ensure the donated items are clean before donating. Every donation we sell brings us one step further in fighting the good fight, fighting poverty, sending aid, and achieving human rights everywhere. So consider us next time you need to empty out your drawers!

"You have a washing machine in the back to wash donations."

Nope! Mythbusted! Sadly we do not. That is why we ask our donors to donate only unstained clothing. We DO steam or clothes to help sanitise and freshen them but sadly we can't do much about stained and hair covered clothes.

of the Week.

It's a double bill of today. The first is 'In Through The Out Door' by Led Zeppelin. The eighth and final studio album by the band before their disbanding from drummer John Bonham's death. The curious thing about this album was that it originally released in a brown bag to replicate many bootleg album packages at the time, and there were 6 different album cover variations. Making it possible the first ever Blind Bag Variant Cover. £29.99 at Oxfam Helensburgh

The second album is 'Entact' by Scottish psychedelic band The Shamen. A limited edition vinyl release in an embossed sleeve. But the sleeve is slightly damaged, so we are letting it go for just £9.99!

We need Handbags, Scarves, Gloves, Jewellery, and more. Simply put, we need your accessories! Anything that doesn't fit the "you" vibe anymore, you can donate to us, and that donation can fit the "you" vibe, of someone else. The "them" vibe. Plus, if you sign up for Gift Aid, for every £1 we make on selling your donations, we can claim an additional 25p from the Government! It costs you nothing, all you need to be is a valid taxpayer and sign up for Gift Aid with Oxfam, so you'd help style the nation, and our store!

We are looking for vinyl and jewellery volunteers for the Xmas season! If you are a music or jewellery lover, who has the time, could you consider helping us sort and price our music and/or jewellery? All we need is a few hours a week. Every little helps!

Christmas Donations and any Unwanted Christmas Gifts from last year! Yeah, it's a tough thing to admit but sometimes you get get a Christmas Pressie or Stocking Stuffer, that makes you wonder why you got it in the first place? Maybe you're allergic to milk and someone got you chocolate milk straws, or a shirt that isn't your size. Well, assuage the feelings of guilt, by donating them to charity, and they can make their way to happy recipients this year.
We also take Christmas Decorations. But we CAN'T take anything that uses an electrical socket, as we don't have a parts tester, nor the capacity to hold one. Please keep that in mind before donating.
