In terms of stock this was once of the best charity shops in the area. I would often come here and…read morepick up several books for school and university studies. Now however the book section is quite poor and there's little to me up for this. Obviously the standard of the goods sold depends on the goods donated, it's tough times and people must be less willing to give away their property! Fair enough, but the charity shops are suffering a bit! This is a nice big store, the staff are always very friendly and do what they can to keep the store tidy and attractive by way of window displays and stock arrangement.

I must admit, this isn't the best shop of it's kind in the area, and there are a few, it's stock is…read moreusually quite poor and the shop itself is, well, not the freshest. However, it is, if you can compare charities, one of the most worthy. Jospice is entirely run by volunteers and raises money for the St Joesph's Hospice in Thornton. Jospice provides care and support for the terminally ill and their families and is a very popular local organisation... so I don't really understand why locals dump their unwanted rubbish here.. Have a look, and give where you can. The staff are so lovely and very grateful.

Damn those pesky doe eyed mutts and scruffy kittens needing our help! Most charity shops will draw…read moreyou in through the promise of bargains and money going towards a good cause, throw in the idea of some critters with tiny bandages across their heads and I'm almost ready to buy an old crap! But alas even the crap in here was not enough to convinceme to part with any money but it wasn't for want of trying, oh no I just really couldn't find anything! I know that it might not really be the point and I certainly can't put anyone off from vsiting but if you like the cause just hand them some money because I get the feeling the poor creatures behind the till might need to be put out of their misery too!

Have to agree with the other review…read more The Plaza cinema itself is worthy of support, a local icon in the fight against souless multiplexes with cardboard popcorn & inflated prices. But this charity shop? I too have been turned away from donating perfectly good, clean & saleable stuff. Every time I've been it just seems like a drop-in coffee centre for the workers & their friends. Heaven forbid that anyone actually do any work as a volunteer! I now donate to Crosby Housing next to the POst Offioce, they take anything & are GRATEFUL for it.

Hi Everyone, Just to let you know that the Plaza Cinema…read moreSupport Shop had a change of Management and volunteers in October of 2011. The Cinema Support Shop is one of the best Charity Shops in the area. Run by Jean and John you always get a welcome and the atmosphere is happy and friendly. Donations are always welcome there. The shop is so well presented and has made a tremendous turn around in such a short time. Without the Plaza Support Shop the Plaza Cinema would not survive so I urge everyone who values the facility in our area to support both shop and cinema. We live in a great Community one of the best communities in the Country. So please eveytime you have a clear out bring it to the Plaza Cinema Support Shop all will be most welcomed. From their biggest supporter or all.
