GIFT AID:- We now have Gift Aid set up in both of our shops. If you are a UK tax payer, please complete one of our forms when you donate goods to our shops. Your generousity can help us raise an extra 28p in every pound that we sell, that will make a HUGE difference to our ability help even more animals.
Both of our shops offer you the chance to pay via Chip & Pin cards, we would ask that the total purchase amount be ? or over, so as we do not incur extra costs. Thank you to everyone who donates and purchases items from our shops. You are continuing to help us break our yearly targets to help animals receive veterinary assistance and for neutering and microchipping. Please continue to help the RSPCA we need your donations.
PLEASE NOTE OUR CHARITY SHOP DRIVERS WILL ALWAYS HAVE IDENTIFICATION ON THEM AND WILL BE HAPPY TO SHOW YOU THIS, SHOULD YOU REQUEST TO DO SO. THERE ARE MANY BOGUS DRIVERS COLLECTING CHARITY BAGS AND THIS IS HAVING A BIG IMPACT UPON OUR SHOP STOCK AND THE MONEY WE CAN MAKE FOR LOCAL ANIMAL WELFARE. IF YOU ARE UNSURE ABOUT A DRIVER PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT US - PLEASE TAKE AS MANY DETAILS AS POSSIBLE ABOUT THE VEHICLE THAT YOU HAVE SEEN COLLECTING OUR BAGS - THANK YOU.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE consider donating your unwanted items to us - the money we raise through selling these items REALLY DOES help animals in our local area.
Help us if you can - we have noticed a real drop in the amount of items being donated to our shops. We are encouraging people to recycle their items by donating them to us. We are very proactive in our animal welfare work within our branch area and it is mainly due to the funds received via our charity shops that we are able to continue this. Please help us to raise the funds necessary to continue with this work and the work of our RSPCA Inspectors. In a difficult economic climate our shop staff and volunteers continue to work hard to raise as much money for local animal welfare as possible. Please continue to donate those surplus-to-requirements clothes, toys unwanted gifts to us and we will turn them into cash to help animals in our local area. Also, if you have any vinyl records, cd's or musical items these would be gratefully received as we are regularly invited to sell these items at specialist sales.
If you have any problems with transporting items to our shop's, or have larger items to donate, please do not hesitate to ring either shop and a possible collection can be made.
Both shops are situated in established, popular and well presented areas within the heart of each town's shopping area. We continue to have a good selection of new and used items, all of which are in good condition, well displayed and very reasonably priced. If you are looking for something specific but can't find it - please ask.
As ever all donations are gratefully received by these shop's.
Our shop's continue to be the main source of income for the branch. Many thanks go to all our staff and volunteers who assist with the day to day running of these successful shop's.
