A great little charity shop based just inside the Coventry Road. The had a refit about a year ago…read moreto spruce the shop up a bit, and I will admit it was a little worrying when for a while after it looked more like a boutique than a charity shop, but it is settling back into itself nicely now. Sells all the clothes, bric a brac, books etc you would expect (although no childrenswear, and toys can be a bit hit and miss), along side some great quality new goods such as wooden toys, gifts and seasonal ranges. The staff are wonderfully friendly and helpful. Wheelchair/buggy access can be a bit tight due to space allowances, and there is one step into the building.

Today, I visited a Age UK second-hand shop in Market Harborough with the intention of trying on…read morefive items. However, I was informed that it was not permissible to try more than two items at a time. I endeavored to remain composed despite feeling quite upset. At the checkout, I politely inquired whether I could return the shoes if they proved to be too large. Although I had tried them on in the shop and found them too big, I thought they might be suitable for my mother. In response, I received an extremely rude and elevated reply. In my twenty years residing in this country, this was the first occasion I felt unwelcome as a foreigner. This experience was particularly unexpected coming from a second-hand shop and especially from an elderly lady.

Also new cards, hosiery etc and occassional nic-nacs. The ladies who work there are lovely, friendly and always welcoming. I find it almost impossible to pass without popping in, and rarely come away empty handed, especially if I have the children with me as they love delving through the baskets of little toys under the shelves. The ladies will also happily clamber into the window display or delve into the storeroom if you're looking for something in particular, and always price things reasonably.

This is your typical charity shop selling clothes and books, dvds, bric-a-brac etc. It's a smallish…read moreshop being in a local centre of shops rather than on a main highstreet. They do get some really good quality items here which is great, and I have to say because it's local to me it's a place I often donate items to. I recently took a couple of boxes of bits up to the store, and had a look round while I was there. I bought a hardback copy of Jonathan Kellerman's latest book in here for just 75p! This is a book that's not even available in paperback yet, so you can imagine how pleased I was with my purchase.

It's got all the usual things, clothes, books, dvds, bric-a-brac etc. but they also sell a few red cross branded items like calander, diary etc. They don't over charge for the stuff they're selling recognising that it's better to sell it all cheaply than to only sell a few bits for a lot and have lots go to waste and earn less for the charity. The staff here are really friendly and do their best to help you if you're looking for something in particular too which is nice.
