What We Do

Charity Shops

We might not sell your stuff!!!!

Did you know that as well as selling items donated to our charity shops, we also pass things on free of charge to people and families struggling financially as a result of a cancer diagnosis via our Kindness Kits service. This service provides, food, toiletries, clothes, household product/items, toys etc – find out more by clicking here

By donating to our charity shops you are helping us to provide our much needed support services. We have high street shops in Blaydon & Sunderland.  In our Gateshead support centre we have a shop,  as well as a bigger monthly po-up shop, and occasional event style posh pop-up shop!
