“Revisiting” some things in our lives is just downright heavy and depressing. Don’t put yourself into that kind of situation by keeping things that make you feel sad, angry, etc.

Two-for-one tonight… sorry, didn’t get to do this morning’s!

Stock levels in the vary significantly depending on supply and demand. To ensure we have room to accept your donation, please get in touch with Nina via email: [email protected] first!

Please note that, as Nina is a volunteer who also works elsewhere, it may take a couple of days before she can get back to you! If you need to urgently get in touch with her, please call us or pop in on Tuesdays between 10 AM and 2 PM, when she will be in-house and available to take calls/talk to you in person. Tel.: 01747 852994

Missed this last night...

9: It’s true, as we grow, mature, evolve, or whatever you care to call it, our idea of style and what feels/looks good changes. That’s perfectly normal, perfectly acceptable, and definitely a great reason to get rid of some of that stuff that just isn’t you anymore!

Don’t forget: It’s the     today! We are open from 10:00 to 12:00ish.

Yes, is always looking for more to join our team – simply because the more volunteers we have, the fewer Tuesdays each of you must be here, and the more chance there if of us successfully covering potential volunteer absences (holidays, sickness, etc.) Interested? Happy to lift potentially heavy loads? Pop in on Tuesday and have a chat with our Store House manager Nina.
