Community Meeting Point Shop

The Community meeting point shop is the place to go if you are looking to pick up a bargain.  With an array of interesting items from designer women’s and men’s clothes to hand made cards we have something for everyone! 

The shop makes a significant difference to our fundraising and supports us to deliver services to those in the local community.

We also use our shop to provide real work opportunities to our members.  Members can gain retail experience, confidence and self esteem in a real work environment. 

We like to think that our shop acts as a stepping stone to working in the wider community or gaining enough confidence to perhaps attend the local college or take up volunteering opportunities in other community venues.

• books and multimedia like DVDs, CDs and vinyl
• accessories, non-pierced jewellery, belts, handbags

• any old clothes or textiles that are no longer useable can still raise money by being sold to textile merchants.

4. Contact us and we will collect all donations.
