Our shops
About our shops
Our shops raise vital income that enables us to support local older people in Cheshire.
We currently have nine charity shops in Cheshire, selling a variety of pre-loved items including clothes, books, toys and collectables. We also have a furniture shop in Ellesmere Port.
Donations
Our shops rely on donations. We are always happy to receive good quality, clean, reusable items to our shops during shop opening hours.
Don't forget - if you are a UK tax payer and you gift aid your donations, we can claim an extra 25% back at no extra cost to you. This means that for every £1 we make from selling your items, we will get an extra 25p through Gift Aid! So next time you drop off your donations, ask about Gift Aid!
For questions about donations to our shops, please call: 07717 661576.
