Our charity shop in Suffolk Square has been a part of the community for over 25 years. Before then it was a greengrocer.
We pride ourselves on creating a friendly and welcoming environment and we're always up for a chat.
The majority of our volunteers are from the local community, and some have been a part of the Relate community for more than 10 years.
We have a wide range of goods available at affordable prices with stock updated daily. We also sell electrical items ranging from lamps to kitchen appliances.
We have a large stock of school uniforms available that are suitable for the local Bignold primary and high schools.
For music lovers, we have a varied vinyl selection, and for the artists, we have a great craft area selling wool, buttons, threads, and jewelry.
