Charity shops

Posted on March 10, 2007
Filed Under - leaving the rat race |

I have started taking clothes, books, odds and ends to charity shops. As I don’t have a car, it’ll take me many trips to trundle everything down.

Charity shops are getting ever more sophisticated in their operations. My local PDSA shop offers free collections from your home with their own branded pink sack, and when you bring donations into the shop you can sign a form to allow Gift Aid.

Stumble it!
