This also looks like a great to place do some volunteer work as places like this are always in need to help.

It's always clean and tidy but I often find it difficult to get around the shop if it's quite busy because it's not a very big shop. They seem to have a strange policy of not selling anything from the window displays so don't bother asking!

This is the best Charity shop in Middlesbrough by far. You often find individual, unique pieces as…read morewell as vintage pieces for no more than a few pounds. The staff are always lovely and very helpful if you are looking for something in particular. If you want to try something you may have to wait though because there is only one changing room. Although this is a charity shop the prices are very reasonable and they always seem to have a lot of stock for everyone including brand new items. Only thing is they shut at 4pm so you need to be quick if going after work etc.

They stock a good range of items, their prices are general high street. I love their sales.read more

Clothing (although very little children's clothing usually), household bits and bobs and sometimes so larger items of furniture. If you see sets or collections of items it is worth asking about a special price for if you buy the whole lot. I have done this before with sets of books and the manager has always been happy to give me a small discount to take them all away. The changing area is very small and just has a curtain door. This is very close to where the toys are and I think you need to take care getting changed here. Certainly not as big as some of the charity shops on this streeet but well worth a look all the same.

I would think that is mostly geared towards younger girls aged 5-15 but there are sometimes nice bits and pieces for adults too. It has ranges of jewellery, hair accessories, bags, sunglasses, purses etc. They also do ear piercing within the store. It is not as cheap as stores like primark but is still pretty reasonable.

Nice new store where focus used to be. Light & specious store. Plenty of parking at the front.read more

At around midday today 20th September I visited the Northallerton branch I asked a member of staff…read moreon the floor what the price was of some weed killer spray which was not priced up. Haughtily he said that they were too busy to help and I would have to check at the till. He then walked to the one of the tills, because there was indeed, a large queue waiting. There was nobody at this till, I thought I was to follow him, so I asked him to please price up the item. Haughtily, yet again, he said to go back to the end of the queue and wait for a price. I could not believe his attitude for such a simple request. Employing him is doing the company no favours at all, I am afraid. All I wanted was the price of some weed killer! Shame on the Company and shame on the Store Manager for employing him.

If you do manage to get in , the aisles in the clothing department are narrow and frequently blocked. This shop is a disabled persons nightmare. The previous two reviews are absolute twaddle - they probably have been written by staff. I have not found staff friendly & efficient - they frequently seem more interested in each other than serving customers. I have visited this shop since it opened - I will NEVER go in again (as I am a carer for an elderly relative who is wheelchair-bound I can not get in anyway). This shop is to be AVOIDED at all costs!
