Wanted - quality homeware you dont' need anymore!

Mary Anne from Taradale

Our Red Cross Shop at 35 Cadbury Rd is very short of quality homeware goods to sell in our shop. If you are willing to donate to us we would be happy to receive your items. The shop is open between 10am and 4pm Monday to Friday for drop off. Look forward to seeing you and hope you take a look at the new season's bargains in stock.
