We’re excited to welcome new volunteers to our much-loved charity shop in Medway — a vital part of our mission to support older people in the community. But our shop is more than just a place to find a bargain — it’s a warm, welcoming space where friendships are made and conversations flow as easily as the tea.
Whether locals pop in to escape the rain (or the sunshine!), browse the rails, or simply have a friendly chat, the shop has become a true community hub. We’re proud to offer not just great finds, but also great company.
Now, we're thrilled to announce that from May 2025, we'll be reopening on Saturdays after a long pause — and we need your help to make it happen!
We’re looking for friendly, reliable volunteers who can spare a few hours (or even a whole day) on Saturdays. You’ll be joining a fantastic team of volunteers and regulars who keep the place buzzing with energy and kindness.
