We have regular sessions sorting donations at the Community Hospice warehouse, and they're always a voyage of discovery - we never quite know what we''ll across in all those black bags. And, while we tackle the bags at random, there are often themes to what we find.
This morning's finds? Lots of cuddly soft toys, a magical mix of Disney and Harry Potter clothing and books 🪄, and a fine range of baseball caps 🧢. Plus a belt with (almost) the GG logo as its shiny gold buckle!
It's a fun way to spend a few hours, with plenty of chat, and a tasty selection of biscuits to go with hots drinks when we take a break.
Huge thanks to the lovely warehouse team, James and Andrew, for having us along and patiently helping us decide what's suitable to sell and what has to go to 'rags'. The Community Hospice is such a wonderful local charity and we love lending a hand.
Why not come along and join us at our next session? No experience needed, just curiosity, and enthusiasm! Who knows what you might discover...✨
If you need a 1940s dress or a 1950s drinks bar, then No 16 is the place to go. Opened in 2013 the shop brings together antique and retro furniture, homeware and clothing under one roof. The site also houses the main warehouse for sorting donations.
