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 23p in every pound that we sell, that will make a HUGE difference to our ability help even more animals. 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. ***WANTED - DONATIONS - Clothes, Shoes, Toys, general bric-a-brac!!*** Donate those surplus clothes, toys unwanted giftsd to us and we will turn them into cash to help animals in our local area. Possibly due to the rise in internet auction sites, or the economic downturn, our shop has noticed a real down turn in donations generally. 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. There is always 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 - just ask. As ever all donations are gratefully received by these shop's. All money raised from your donations helps local animals. Our shop's continues to be our main source of income for the branch and that is with continued thanks to our shop Managers/Deputy Managers and their team's of volunteers that assist with all the day to day running of a successful and busy charity shop's. Without our Managers and volunteers we could not continue to achieve the success the shop boasts.Thank you all for your continued hard work. Page checked and updated 21.07.10
