“I shopped at the space for the first time recently and was amazed by how many fantastic items I picked up – I found way more than I thought I would! The staff were really helpful, answered all my questions and the event was just brilliant. I’m chuffed with my bargains and it’s great to know that the money I spent goes to a local charity.”
