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.

PPF Donates Computers to Mind in Croydon
On 31st October there was an official unveiling of the new computer room at Fairfield House. The room will give members access to first rate IT which will help them in so many ways from improving their skills and confidence on-line to being able to deal with on-line benefit claims. The room has been made possible by the donation of 30 computers from the Pension Protection Fund as part of their on-going support for Mind in Croydon. As well as the computer room at Fairfield House, staff at Mind in Croydon received upgrades to their office machines. Chair of Mind in Croydon, John Pestell, said, “It was a great pleasure to see PPF at Fairfield House once again helping Mind in Croydon. Their generosity know no bounds and we are so pleased with the gift of computers which allows us to offer our clients the very latest in technology. That said PPF do so much for us above and beyond this gift and that it is greatly appreciated by all at Mind in Croydon. Thank you.”
Simon Liste, Chief Technology Officer at the PPF said: “It was truly amazing and so rewarding to see the happiness and excitement of those that use the Mind Hub, when the computer room was unveiled. It makes us proud and honoured, as an organisation to be able to help Mind in Croydon in their journey and purpose”
