Leucole

Farplace Animal Rescue Shop

"I really love this shop, I’ve been here daily for a while! Especially I like how they don’t immediately throw things to the dump/somewhere behind the store/etc but rather give stuff away for free. Although one issue… A table dedicated for Christmas… in September? 😭😭Apart from that: the staff/volunteers are lovely, it’s arranged beautifully and it’s easy to navigate!"

Darla

Cancer Research UK

"Definitely my overall favourite charity shop, always leave with a handful of things. Most of my clothing I get is thrifted from here, and absolutely love finding the occasional Monster High doll in here, as well as the selection of DVD’s! Main place I donate to locally."

Snowdrop

Age UK Charity Shop

"They have a good selection of furniture, clothes, homeware and everything in between. Prices are reasonable but can veer towards expensive if something is considered to be worth money"
