British Red Cross

This is a really excellent charity shop. The manageress does a fantastic job of making the best of the donated goods. I can’t pass by without popping in for a browse, and nearly always come out with something.

The shop is tiny. The window only has room for two mannequins, always dressed in something really desirable, and a well-designed Red Cross poster which makes you want to donate to this worthy cause.

I don’t know how they source such excellent stock while other charity shops have such unappealing offerings. The clothes are always stylish, the books turn over very fast, and there’s a small but tempting selection of crockery and bric a brac.

The other charities should bring their managers here to show them what can be achieved.
