Dining in the Dark fundraising event- Art House, Glasgow…read more I've participated in a few fundraising events for charities over the years but they've all been about me doing something on my own and my papa being my supportive non-participating wingman. Dining in the Dark is more of a group experience which means that it had more of personal feel about it. In addition to this there wasn't a need to rely on sponsorship to take part, which makes the event more accessible to individuals who don't have a large fundraising network. The venue itself was centrally located in Glasgow and the staff members on duty were extremely welcoming. The bar area was cosy and the beer was reasonably priced. Before the event started there was a really vibrant and energetic buzz in the waiting area as we all psyched ourselves up for what was about to come. It was also nice to relax with a wee glass of bubbly before everything started as it helped to ease the nerves. I don't want to give too much away in case people want to try out this event for themselves, but what I can say is that the event itself was well organised. It was also fun and informative. I'll be honest I was a wee bit anxious about taking additional drinks into the dining area as clumsy is my middle name, but it was actually more manageable than I anticipated. If you're not familiar with the charity they have a website which gives some info on what they do. There's also a list of up and coming fundraising events. If you're reading this review and are still unsure about trying something new, remember "The saddest summary of a life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have" - Unknown. Overall it was a fantastic event for an amazing cause.

Before i became aware of the vile animal testing undertaken on dogs and many other creatures by BHF…read morei did sometimes shop here. It had a few nice staff but most were unhelpful at best and plain nasty at worst. As with most BHF shops it is among the priecest charity shops.

What a disaster!…read more When I go into a shop I don't mind being harassed to make my purchase if it's close to closing time, but I do object if closing time is not for more than four hours! I don't expect to be tutted at when I add another item while the first is still being rung up. I don't expect to be told to "hurry up" when I'm fishing out my money, particularly when I've had to ask for the total. I don't expect to hear mutterings about how I "took my time" when I'm walking out the door. The staff are rude, ignorant and barely competent. I will never set foot in this shop again and would urge others to avoid it. Atrocious behaviour from so-called adults. You don't want my money - there are plenty of places that do.

the staff here seem to gert worse and worse they seem to scare off decent ones…read more the new good are pretty poor and take up too much of the shop. clothing and books etc were once reasonable but now any old tat is deemed vintage or collectable
