Please Note: Due to government guidelines we have had 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.

This year Advocacy Awareness Week takes place on 26th – 30th October.
Mind in Croydon’s advocacy service supported over 100 people from May to September this year in ensuring that their rights were met and their voices heard.
This shows how important advocacy remains during a time when many vulnerable people are subject to detention under the Mental Health Act and whilst there remains the risk of Covid-19 people who have a statutory right to access independent mental health advocacy are able to continue to do so.

Mindline Trans+ Crowdfunder
Mindline Trans+ is a joint service delivered by Mind in Bristol and Mind in Somerset.
Trans and non-binary people are particularly vulnerable to developing mental health problems due to societal stigma and a lack of access to focused services.
This is a vital service for people in society who are at a greater risk of hate crime and of experiencing mental health problems. A transgender mental health study showed that 88% of transgender people had experienced depression and 84% had thought of ending their life.
They need your help to extend their UK Wide service from 2 to 3 nights a week. This will help them to reach people in hard to reach areas. Part of the funding will help the training and support of call handlers by staff. Another expense they anticipate this funding will cover is the publicity of the service in rural areas and the coordination this will involve.
To support their crowdfunding campaign please visit www.avivacommunityfund.co.uk/mindline-trans.
