Keeping Our Prices Real!

In 2017, we opened the doors to our no-frills charity shop at the heart of our community in the Leegate centre. We understand the importance of keeping our prices affordable. We always have a good stock of quality clothing, toys and bric-a-brac. Find out more about the donations we can accept.

Our shop has a homely feel where lovely people from all walks of life and cultures share in a friendly, welcoming community space.

Open Mon-Fri: 09:00 - 15:00, Sat 10:00-14:00

How Does It Work?

COMMUNITY SHOP SERVICES AND REFERRALS

Supplying clothing and everyday household basics, GRACE has experienced a surge in demand for the services of our Community Shop in recent times. Our Community Shop is run on a 'voucher' scheme through referrals from partner charities, midwives, social workers, teachers etc. Contact us to find out more or book an appointment, if you are supporting someone who needs access to our services.

INTERNATIONAL SOLIDARITY PROGRAMME

Between late 2015 to 2021 GRACE sent over 3,000 boxes of clothing aid, tents, prams and toiletries to Greece and France.  We also purchased items directly at source for distribution to refugee camps and asylum seekers, including food.  

Due to COVID-19 and Brexit causing prohibitive tax and shipping costs, we stopped shipping aid items abroad as a core part of our work in autumn 2021. Instead, we are using the profits generated by our charity shop and periodic fundraisers to provide grants to refugee organisations on the ground. We have since provided small grants to organisations working with refugees in Greece, with Palestinian refugees, as well as with refugees in Syria and Türkiye following the devastating earthquake in February 2023.
