💛💚 **A POLITE REMINDER ABOUT DONATIONS** 💚💛
Firstly, we want to say a massive **THANK YOU** to everyone who kindly donates to our charity shop. Your generosity means so much and helps us continue supporting our local community. ❤️
We absolutely welcome donations, but we kindly ask that you are mindful of the condition of the items you give.
Unfortunately, we sometimes receive donations that are damaged, heavily stained, broken or simply not in a condition that we can pass on or sell.
As a volunteer-run charity shop, this creates extra work for our volunteers and can also cost us money to dispose of items we cannot use.
💚 **Please remember, if you wouldn't give it to a friend or family member, it's probably not suitable to donate.**
We never expect everything to be brand new, and we are incredibly grateful for your support. We just ask that items are clean, usable and in a reasonable condition.
**Every donation should help our charity, not create an extra cost.**
Thank you for your understanding and for continuing to support us. Together, we can make a real difference! 💛
