The Staff of The Curiosity Shop would like to thank all locals who have donated clothes and bric a brac to us. Only for this support we could not exist.
We would also like to advise you about "clothes banks"
When you put clothes into a clothes bank a charity gets a small percentage and the contractor gets the higher percentage of the clothes that are collected.
We would urge you to consider donating your unwanted clothes and your recycleable clothes to us because when we sell them or recycle them, all monies raised go into the local community. The Curiosity Shop's finances are open and transparent.
