The Peggy Wood Foundation

"My favourite charity shop in the whole world. It’s an independent charity shop raising money for Maidstone Hospital Breast Clinic - Peggy Wood. I’ve been coming to this charity shop since I was a baby, it was also my mums favourite charity shop. It’s not the best organised and it has a musty smell but I have found some amazing treasures over the year. Super cheap. Worth having a look!"

Emmaus Dover

"My favourite place EVER. I live for it. Books and dvds and cds are a bag for £5. Clothes are decent and furniture is cute as. Little cafe area as well and staff are wonderful. They also has a clear out sale thing once in a while where you can fill a bag if trinkets, books, clothes, toys etc. for a fixed price. I love it and cannot recommend it enough <3"

The Children's Trust Shop

"Amazing store! Very friendly, patient but some of their prices are questionable, the stuff pictured I bought as it was £15 and under which is fair but they had football tops from a decade ago priced at £35/40! A bit of a stretch if you ask me but a 4/5 stars from me due to their friendliness and cleanliness of the store 🫡"
