The project comprises a charity shop selling excellent quality goods at very reasonable prices and a café, located on the ground floor. All visitors are welcome to come along and access a confidential advice and support service to enable them to cope with any problems they may have.
A Welfare Rights Officer will be available on Tuesdays and a Social Worker on Wednesdays. The aim of the project is to offer friendship and assistance to those who may feel isolated in today’s Society but there are also some excellent bargains to be had!
If you have any donations for the shop we are looking for clean, good quality clothes and toys etc. Please contact Sr Rita Lee on 0161 445 7741 if you would like more information.
