POLITE REMINDER TO OUR KIND DONORS

We are incredibly grateful for the generosity of our community and the donations that support our Charity Shops. However, we kindly ask that donations are not left outside our Shops when we are closed.

Unfortunately, items left on the doorstep can be damaged by bad weather or taken before we have the chance to bring them inside our Shops. Recently several donations had to be disposed of when they were affected by the weather. This week a pink holdall that had been left hanging on the door handles of our Dibden Purlieu Charity Shop was taken by a passerby before we could retrieve it.

Please help us protect your kind donations by bringing them into our Shops between 10 am and 3 pm weekdays, 10 am and 12.30 pm on Saturdays so we can make best use of them for our Charity.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding.
