Please Note: Due to government guidelines we have has to shut out charity shop in Addiscombe. 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.
Twelve months ago I could never of seen myself returning to work. I am now in a position where I have been offered paid employment and look forward to once again being independent.
Mind in Croydon’s Charity Shops
Our shops are an invaluable source of fundraising.
We have a Mind in Croydon Shop on Lower Addiscombe Road. This shop raises money for the charity by selling donated items of bric-a-brac, small items of furniture and clothing.
The shop relies on donations from the general public, and we welcome items such as small items of household furniture, books, CDs, DVDs, kitchenware, electrical items in good working order, clothing & bric-a-brac. These goods are then sorted within our premises for possible sale within the shop. All items need to be of good quality, and the majority of clothing and books are recycled if not suitable for resale.
The shop is open between 10am and 5pm Monday to Saturday and between 10am and 4pm on Sundays. Enquiries can be made by calling 020 8662 9383 and we have an answering machine available for messages outside of these working hours.

Thanks to New Addington Fire Station
Mind in Croydon are hugely grateful to our colleagues at New Addington Fire Station.
Members of the fire service based at New Addington have enabled Mind in Croydon’s Social Networking Service to support clients who are vulnerable in the most urgent of times.
We would like say a big thank you for the help and support provided including dropping off food parcels to people’s homes as well as ensuring that when a person was submitted to hospital they had their mobile phone delivered to them on a Friday evening to enable them to stay in touch with their family.
PLEASE NOTE that if this is a service you require you must be a member of the Social Networking Service and New Addington Fire Station are only able to provide it to current service users

You Can Still Help By Raising Funds For Us
If you’re looking for something to do whilst you’re isolating at these difficult times, perhaps you might want to organise a fundraising event for Mind in Croydon using social media, video links etc etc.
Despite the COVID 19 restrictions we are still supporting many, many vulnerable people, either by telephone, text or social media. We are also making sure that some of our most vulnerable clients are receiving their medication and we are shopping for food and other essential supplies for people too.
COVID 19 restrictions mean that we will probably lose at least £15,000 a month of funding due to our charity shops being closed, rental income being reduced and donations being down.
Any help you can give would be very gratefully received.
You can make your donations via any of the means shown on our website at www.mindincroydon.org.uk/fundraising/donate/.
Thank you
During the current restrictions you might find you need a little more support. We have put together a page on our website which points you to many helpful apps and websites to support your wellbeing during this time.
