A good charity shop to support, whether taking them a bag or two of things you don't need any more for them to sell, or to find a bargain yourself. There are lots of racks of clothes, and shelves of second hand books and videos. Right next to Morrison's supermarket and their car park. Open 9.00 5.00 every day, closed Sunday.
UPDATE 20/09/11
Owing to my house move I have taken a large amount of very good quality donations to this shop over the past few weeks. Some of the bags and containers were large and quite heavy but each time I found the different members of staff very unhelpful. I have put up with this because (hopefully) my things will sell and help a very good cause. However, today was the worse day of all of them and it annoyed me more than usual.
The young woman behind the counter could barely bring herself to speak to me and had no interest in my donations whatsoever. I am not sarcastic by nature but I did find myself saying to her, So you don't want all my donations then shall I take them elsewhere? She then said I could bring them in but she scarcely glanced over at me. If I hadn't been pressed for time I would indeed have gone somewhere else with my things. The young man, who also 'worked' there, whom I then asked, didn't really want to lend a hand but he came out to help when I insisted there was a lot to carry and I couldn't do it on my own. Eventually we brought all bags and containers into the shop and I tried to point out which would be fragile and needed care, but they appeared to be extremely bored and scarcely listening so I left, my blood boiling by this time!!
The RSPCA is still a good charity to support in my opinion but they need to do something about people like these who put the public off with their unfriendly and unhelpful attitude. I will certainly not go to that particular shop again. read more
