If you get cancer…read moreyou are in big trouble, it is a horrible illness and it affects the victim and the families and friends of the victim. I remember when why Granddad died of lung cancer; it was an awful painful existence towards at his death. After he died I paradoxically avoided Cancer Research, because it is an insidious disease and research seemed futile. That was a long time ago and now I'm happy to go to their charity shops. This is a particularly good one and has a fine selection of clothes, vinyl and ornaments. Caner research do great work and who knows, maybe one day there will be a cure?

I used to attend the centre to take my greyhound Tom to dog training classes, the less said about that experience the better. What impressed me was the amount of activities which appeared to be taking place here with the notice board indicating all manner of communal activities scheduled to take place. Whilst the decor itself could do with updating the purpose of the centre is an inherently good one and it is a lead which more local communities should follow.

This is probably because it's closer to where I live. As well as this, Debra helps people in the UK with a genetic skin blistering condition called Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) from the very first time I walked in the staff have given a warm welcome. This isn't necessarily a place for young generations but it's great if you want to find a bargain. They sell typical charity shop products such as clothes, books, DVDs, board games and if you're really lucky you might find a piece of unwanted designer wear! From speaking to the staff I understand a lot of clothing is simply thrown out because they can't re-sell it, which is a shame. So maybe they can recycle them or the person giving the items away can recycle an item that can't be sold.
