This is a large furniture warehouse outlet for Willen Hospice Charity. They have a large selection…read moreof furniture here, beds, wardrobes, sofa's, tables amongst smaller items as well right down to games and cutlery. I found some of the items to be a bit tatty and worn out for the price they were trying to charge, eg a bedside cabinet covered in stickers that had been half pulled off and was chipped and scraped for £30. You could get one from Ikea for cheaper and not have to put in a lot of work to try and get it sorted. Although other items were well priced and you can find a bargain. I think it is a fab idea as it is earning money for Willen Hospice which is an amazing organisation and it is recycling as well. They do a delivery service if you need it for your large items as well which is pretty handy. There are marked parking bays outside but it is pretty busy here so you may have to park out on the roadside and walk over.

The red cross shop in Stony Stratford is pretty good as a charity shop. They regularly get new…read morethings in so it's worth visiting fairly frequently. It's got all the usual things, clothes, books, dvds, bric-a-brac etc. but they also sell a few red cross branded items like calander, diary etc. They don't over charge for the stuff they're selling recognising that it's better to sell it all cheaply than to only sell a few bits for a lot and have lots go to waste and earn less for the charity. The staff here are really friendly and do their best to help you if you're looking for something in particular too which is nice.
