About
Our shop was opened in May 2007 and continues to be a great success, thanks to the wonderful support from the community in donating and purchasing goods, and of course our fantastic Volunteers who staff the shop; sorting donations and serving customers with a smile on their faces and a cheery greeting to everyone.
The shop provides BWCS with an essential source of income as without this we would not be able to provide our services. It is also a valuable asset to our town, offering a variety of goods at reasonable prices and of course a great place to volunteer.
The shop currently has over 500 Gift Aid donors who bring items in for sale. With Gift Aid, we can claim an additional 25% on top of the sale price of each Gift Aid item.

In June 2023 we appointed a Shop Manager Polly, who will enable us to open the shop on more days and increase shop and online sales, which will benefit the charity and help fund our services.
This post is funded for 12 months by The Moondance Foundation who we are extremely grateful to.
