    This is the only charity-shop l know in the Canterbury area that still has old-fashioned ethics and prices. There are always little gems to be discovered - not the brag about on tv auction gems, paid 50p made 1k, but realistic prices. They tell me people often return and thank them. The money helps fund Age Uk (Canterbury) drop-in centre. Ebay and the like now syphon off the best stuff and, as it's closer than the tip, it enables 'donors' to dump unsaleable items and salve their consciences. It's quite agricultural work Tricia, the manager of 20+ years, told me. The locals are very loyal but the thousands of students and day-visitors are sorely missed. Along with Covid and lack of volunteers it's very tough going. Every one should pop in and give 50p, the price of many toys. Take photos, talk to Tricia. Opposite Subway, adjacent to St Peter's church in High St Canterbury near Westgate towers (a remaining gate from the beautiful city walls) Canterbury is a small city but there is so much to see everyone should make a pilgramage to this great shop, and there's a cathedral. I've been going there 15 years and the prices haven't really risen. I don't think it'll be there much longer as the members, no-one is paid a penny, are of an age where they put back into their community, not just their pockets. All kinds of threats are present; staff abuse, theft (walk in in rags walk out in style, a 100 gold ring was stolen, low takings etc.) I know every ch/shop from Isle of Sheppey down to Rye. 11 out of 10. Final tap. Check it before they chuck it!

    This was one of my favourite charity shops in Canterbury as comment below pointed out very good price's and I can tell they are what a proper charity shop should be. There isn't any new stock, which I love just purely second hand. Which in my opinion is literally what a charity shop is meant to be. However, whilst in Canterbury I popped in. I'm not in Canterbury very often, so was looking forward to popping in. The whole shop smelt so strong of damp. I could tell it was damp not from the building but it must have been a donation someone bought in. My family all walked out straight away. The sale's assistant made the mistake of trying to talk to me before I did my quick turn around. We were all in the shop for around 10 sec's, as a result of the smell. I said the shop smelled of damp, he said yes someone has sprayed. I said no, it's a damp smell. He said no it certainly isn't and I said yes it iss and walked out. Not the best of experience, having a little argument with the volunteer was not part of my day plan
