Right next to organique, if you buy some food from their, and then some clothes from this St Peters…read moreHospice Shop, I can garuantee you will have that feel good feeling in side, and you will feel happy that you are doing your bit! Not only for the environment but also for charity! Being the largest charity retailer in Bristol you wont find many places without a St Peters Hospice, but they are all of differing qualities and standards, this particular one is surprisingly big and has some great stuff inside, and always a warm smile will greet you upon stepping inside.

ST Peter's Hospice Charity Shop's are located all accross Bristol. They are the largest network of…read moreCharity shop's in the Bristol Region and you will probabley have stumbled accross quite a few during your travels around the City. This St Peter's Hospice is slightly larger than some of the others I have seen, so purley on that fact it has quite a good selection of brick-a-brack goods. Also if you are good at seeking out items of clothing that look drab on the shelf but as soon as you put it in an outfit it somehow becomes amazing then you might just thrive in this charity shop!

Marina and Friends is a charity which helps raise money for serving or ex-Service members of the…read moreRAF family, their partners and adult dependants. Unfortunately, this little shop is pretty sparse in terms of donations. It was only recently that I noticed the place was actually a charity shop, since it could easily pass as a regular gift shop. The scant few items on sale in Marina and Friends Fundraisers consist of the usual bric-a-brac objects, quaint old oil paintings and musky clothes. So if you're thinking of having a spring clean, this place could do with some charity itself.

I'm a fan of any charity shop that has realistic prices and this place definitely does. All books…read moreare 20p, the last time I went in anyway. Items arent priced, they decide how much to charge when you go to pay but everything is always very cheap. It is a tiny shop so they dont have room for masses of things, there is also stuff outside on the pavement. I have donated here and also bought vintage plates that were 20p each.

This is a fantastic card shop in the centre of Bath on Milsom Street, it hasn't been here very long…read moreonly a few years but it has already made it's mark for really high quality cards and gifts. It's a large shop filled floor to ceiling with cards for every occasion, for him and for her, funny and sentimental, occasions such as moving home and leaving job are also catered for with a wide range of syles and choice. They also do a wonderful range of wrapping paper, really beautiful pieces with complimenting tags and bows or ribbons as well as lovely albums and diaries. I would say some items are rather on the pricey side but you are paying for quality so it's not unreasonable.

I do like my charity shops but unfortunatley I feel most cancer esearch shops don't cater for the…read moremen's market. I can appreciate how women (maybe not young woen) would like looking at all the dainty ornaments and quite, well, interesting ladies clothes. It's all for a good cause so pop in next time your passing, you never know what you might stumble accross.

These guys are absolute mavericks! At least, that is, in the world of charity shopping…read more They've only gone and put the accessories (the old crockery and such like) at the front of the shop right as you walk in. If that wasn't off-the-hook enough they've constructed a sort of front-to-back rail for all their clothes thus converting the whole shop into two mega aisles. It's harder perhaps to find the bargains you want this way but it's much more fun, and very different. The rebels.

The YMCA is a Christian charity concerned with helping young people, particularly in times of need…read more Bedminster's YMCA shop is huge, and stores all manner of items, from furniture to bric-a-brac, to clothes and DVD's. Unfortunately, the outlet is often conspicuously empty, despite its location just off the thriving community of East Street. So if ever you're in the area, and are lost for something to do, have a gander in the YMCA shop. You never know - that perfect Friday night film might be waiting for you in the bargain bin...

I'd imagine Food for All to be just like what people who stick their nose up at charity shops…read moreimagine it to be like. But I don't see that as a bad thing, far from it in fact. It's like a car boot stall in a shop. Everything seems to be thrown in in some vague manner which if you spend long enough in there you start to suss it out. They have a few rails of clothes at the back, boxes of CDs, cassettes and videos as well as furniture, electrical items and children's toys. It is staffed by a couple of volunteers who seem to be perpetually having a cup of tea and a natter, which again, I think is great. I've picked up some amazing bargains in this place - a chair for £3, a rain coat for £1 and a Sufjan Stephens CD for £1. It's one of those places where you do really need to pop in regularly as they get the most unusual items in every week.

A pair of shops on North Street - the charity shop is sparse and in need of some good donations but…read morethey do have a little display of homemade bath bombs and smellies. The folk centre next door is the meeting point for a local Hare Krishna group. The money from the shop goes to the group who buy and cook food for homeless people - you will see them in the bear pit (the large roundabout behind Debenhams you cross to get to Stokes Croft) at Monday lunchtime handing out a hot meal - fantastic work however you feel about their religion. If you live local think about giving the shop a few items.

There is something that is just so great about charity shops, and St Peter's is no exception…read more It's always great to have a little brows and see all these wierd and wonderful things that would look so original in any household. The record collection is varied (or was at my time of looking) and there were some beutiful books available. What I also like is you can pick up the odd VHS, yes granted, I may be living in the past, but if you can pick up a classic film for 30p why wouldn't you!? Regardless of what format it is it is still a great film. Check it out, and any other one you will stumble accross on your travels I can garantee you wont be dissapointed, even if you don't buy anything I am sure something will prove to be a point of intrest!

A Bristol based organisation focused on raising money for its two hospices in the city, St Peter's…read moreHospice has charity shops scattered across Bristol. Located just around the corner from me, this little shop has brightened up a few otherwise mundane days. In case you're not familiar with Brislington, well...it's not the most exciting of places. However, if you're ever in the area, I'd definitely recommend you drop into St Peter's Hospice and have a root around. I've bought endless items from this shop, including a beautiful rainbow scarf (as good as new) for a pound, an Oriental style writing pad for 50p, some crazy retro tops for next to nowt and a few good books, to name but a few. And to top it off, all the money goes to a good cause. Can't go wrong, really.
