Our heartfelt thanks go to all our brilliant volunteers who help out at St Finnbarr’s Charities Shop and to all our lovely customers. At this time of year, we distribute donations to local charities and we are delighted to be able to share that we have distributed a whopping £29,000 to 29 charities! Well done team!!

We would also like to take this opportunity to give special thanks to Adele (one of our regular volunteers) who has made such a good job refreshing our shop sign – it looks absolutely stunning and so welcoming!

If you’d like to volunteer to help out in our little shop, please do get in touch – as you can see, it makes a huge difference in the lives of so many people from our area! It’s a great way to get to know people and have fun too!
