Reminder regarding our Addiscombe Charity Shop
Due to the government guidelines our charity shop in Addiscombe currently remains closed.
We recently had a complaint regarding items left on the pavement outside the shop. Please do not leave donations outside the door as we will not be taking them during this time.
We look forward to receiving them once the shop reopens.
In the meantime, if you would like to make a financial donation you can do so by visiting www.mindincroydon.org.uk/fundraising/donate/
