Big Charity Shop

Charity Shop Inside
Abingdon’s biggest ever charity shop opened at the start of February. They say money raised will go towards the “Help For Heroes” charity.
Charity Shop
Open from Monday to Saturday between 10am and 3pm the charity warehouse sells furniture, clothes, books, CDs and DVDs, bric-a-brac etc. from off the Drayton Road.

Trading Estate Sign
The Charity shop is run by the Kathryn Turner Trust in Unit 3 of the Ashville Trading Estate. Up to about a year ago there were a few empty properties here. EBI foods, Bach Flower Remedies, Unique Distribution, and Debenhams had been well known names here.

But now it has filled up again. Another notable business is The Loose Canon Brewing Ltd. – Abingdon’s newest brewer.
Allparts 1
The last two units have just been taken by Allparts, a retailer and distributor of Automotive Parts.

They have been fitting out and stocking the warehouse over the last week, and are in the middle of a publicity drive to let people know.

    I am organizing a Christmas Bazaar to raise money for H4H. It is to be held on Saturday, 11 December in the St. John Ambulance Hall in Kidlington, starting at 10.30.

    Would you be able to display a poster in your shop?

    I have a friend who lives in Abingdon and she would drop it into you.

    With many thanks

    Just rang the national ‘Help for Heroes’ number to check the Abingdon shop’s number, and was told that it is absolutely nothing to do with the H4H charity, and that it was being investigated. What’s the story?

    I would like to donate several items at some stage as we are hoping to move house in the next couple of months. Can you tell me do you accept any electrical goods and furniture.
    Are you definitely connected to the Help for Heroes, as I would like an assurance.
