Kind Charity Shop in Bold Street is one of the largest charity shops I have been to. In here they…read moresell a charming collection of items that make the perfect little gift. Anything from mugs, 'The Beatles' picture frames and football memorabilia, they have here. The shop is quite spacious with several welcoming staff that greet you with a smile each time you enter. All prices in general are cheap with all funds going towards a good cause for helping local families and children. This shop offers more variety than most of the smaller charity shops as they fit in items such as ornaments, clothes and crockery. As well as that, they have the usual suspects like children's books and videos. The shop generates a good browse whenever passing by, because there is always something new in the window display. And sometimes, these items can be quite unique.

I'm not sure where that comes from...maybe it's the staff. Anyway the Kind Charity Shop seems to sell things that are gained in bulk - God knows where from mind you - such as crockery, furniture, pictures and well to be honest just about anything you would probably never think of buying but see here at such a ridiculous price and end up trying to find somewhere for it in your house.

Hey guys you should totally come and scope this place out - they, like, sell stuff other people…read moredon't want and it's, like, totally cheaper than buying the junk new. And, like, the money - get this - goes to help people with disabilities so, like, it's all in a good cause. Come on guys - this place is rad. So stoked I, like, scoped it out. Seriously guys - there's like board games here, board games are awesome - remember that one board game. No dude, you will remember it. It was, like, about life and junk. I think it was called, like, the Game of Life. Well, guess what - they totally had that here and it was all, like, under £4 an junk. And books - they got some classics here, man. No, not like The Little Engine Who Could, like actual classics - Tess of the D'Urbervilles, Return of the Native, Far from the Madding Crowd. Hardy was a stone cold prince, dude. They even got wedding dresses here, man. No joke. Serious; scope this. You could, like, plan a whole wedding from all the gnarly stuff in this store. Is your mom still single? Jeez dude, lighten up - it was, like, totally a joke. But seriously dude - is she?

Alas! A non commercial charity shop that hasn't started charging ridiculous prices for its stock!…read moreMuch unlike the highly overprices Oxfam's and Banardo's that plague the high streets, animal rescue is a very reasonably priced, honest, friendly charity shop. The shop is pretty big in terms of standard sized charity shops, and they have a wide range of stock inside. This ranges from women's and men's clothes, to books, CD's, DVD's, computer games, board games, ornaments, vinyl, cassettes and other random bits and bobs. All the VHS videos are 50p each and they seem to get loads of them in. It's pretty cool routing through them all because there are some that never made it to DVD and they're worth a watch if you still have a VHS machine. These include old music videos which may be a gem for an avid music collector!

It has an excellent range of stock including men, women and children's clothing. They have a large selection of books of all types. I like the selection of board games where you can pick up an old game for next to nothing and be a bit nostalgic with your friends. Other items include ornaments, toys, jewellery, records, tapes, Cd's and textiles. Everything here is very cheap. You won't pay more than £1 for most items, and if something is more its usually a good as new piece of clothing. The staff here are lovely and happy to leave you to mooch around for as long as you like.

All products are pre-owned in good condition and all donations proceed to good causes. The people that work there are all friendly volunteers and always give you a smile when you enter the shop. This shop would appeal to anybody wishing to bag a bargain as every item is generally as cheap as you can get. Considering the genre and style of items they sell, it would appeal more to the middle aged and elderly but if you're lucky and just passing by, there's always the chance that'll you'll find something that exactly suits you!

This Oxfam is one of the best secondhand bookshops in the city. Occupying a large corner shop on…read moreBold Street, it has about a dozen bookcases stuffed with everything from fiction, film, music and biographies to local history and geography books. Admittedly, prices aren't as cheap as they used to be - you're talking about £2.99 for a recent novel or anthology - but given that new paperbacks are usually £7.99 - £9.99 now this doesn't seem unreasonable. When I popped in recently, I managed to find almost new copies of Zoe Heller's Believers, Marilynne Robinson's Home and Chris Cleave's The Other Hand. Budding photographers and film directors should also note that they stock a great selection of vintage cameras, super-8 cameras and select albums and 12"s on vinyl. The staff are friendly too and they usually have great psychedelic pop or 60s rock on the stereo.

Oxfam is one of my favourite charity shops. It is also the most well known with all proceeds going…read moreto serious and useful causes. The branch in Bold Street is one of the largest selling a variety of random goods; these are all in good condition and no one should be put off by the fact that every item is second hand. The attractiveness I like about second hand shops is just being able to browse freely amongst previously owned items, once in a while coming across an object that catches my eye. At the end of the day, it's all by accident if I buy a product here. Not many people shop at Oxfam with a target. It all begins with a small browse! Moreover, you will be guaranteed a bargain for your efforts.

What?! I can't believe the other reviewers could give this place such low ratings! Surely if…read morethere is anything that we need right now in this era of chaos, uncertainty, intolerance and violence is a place that we can buy items that reflect our God given right to be intolerant and violent towards those who are clearly not backing the winning team?!

It wasn't their books though, I actually couldn't believe my eyes when I saw them selling a Tomb Raider game just above their books which I once owned. Well not actually mine but I have an identical at home dating back to 1998 (if I can recall). It was my favourite PC game back then and it brought back many memories. I must have bought it for about £30 but now you can buy this for £1.99 at Red Cross (second hand); out of fashion obviously but I'd treat it as an antique if anyone would buy it! It just shows that you never know what to expect at charity shops so it always makes an interesting browse in addition to the clothes they have. And don't forget other items such as little glass ornaments and china; they have a cute collection here too.
