It's a really good charity shop with a good range of items. They have the usual clothing but also some nice tea sets and other unique items. The staff was really nice and kind. We're giving 4 stars because while some items are well priced, some are arbitrary for the condition they are in. You can't be sure what you are buying is the correct price. Otherwise, it's really nice to browse and support the charity because it's likely you will find something you like.

Staff was very rude to me and wouldn't let me enter to return my clothes despite arriving before closing time.

Very expensive prices for washed out and out of date clothing which frequently have dirty marks and holes in them. When I`ve pointed the latter out to the staff, they have been disinterested and hung the garments back on the rail without marking that they are damaged. A total disgrace and disrespect to the public whom they are taking advantage of! Most of us know someone who has had, or has died of cancer, and would dearly like to help this charity. However, when the manager and staff in this shop are showing such contempt for the public, they put people off from handing goods in and from buying the overpriced and frequently substandard items in the shop!

Not only are the prices in this shop a joke, but they put out jumpers with holes in them and charge extortionate prices! My partner and I were in the shop on Friday and noticed a man`s wine coloured cashmere jumper (priced 29.95) had a hole in the front of it. When we pointed out to one of the volunteers, informing her an elderly with bad eye sight may buy the jumper (and subsequently notice the hole when they get home), she made it clear she didn`t want to know. When we went in the shop the next day the jumper was still hanging up on the rail for the price of 29.95; it hadn`t been labelled as damaged and marked down accordingly. Given that I purchased 3 new cashmere jumpers in John Lewis sale for my son at the cost of 39.95 each, paying 29.95 for one which has been worn, is washed out and has a hole in the front of it, is taking the proverbial!Charity shops are allowed to get away with ripping off customers in a way which no other shops would be allowed to! I personally did volunary work in a charity shop, and was appalled at the high prices they charged for often washed out clothes with dirty marks on them. On one occassion I handed in a jacket I`d bought from Primark for 10.00 and the manager charged 20.00 for it, even although I had told her I`d only paid half that amount. She said people will pay it since it`s for charity! It is frequently poor people who shop in charity shops, and therefore it is appalling that managers of these shops should rip them off in attempt to reach their targets, so that they get their bonuses etc. Such greed will only serve to put the public off from handing goods in, and buying the extortionate (often rags) on their rails!
