Dove Cottage Charity Shop - Bottesford

When your items get donated, sometimes things are a little past there best for the shop. A jumper with moth holes, trousers whose hem has seen better days or that white tshirt that is no longer white, these items go for rags.

That doesnt mean they are thrown away, they get collected from us, and resorted to be sent elsewhere either to be sold or recycled.

If you have arty kids the charity shop can be a whole world of imagination!

This tshirt has been revamped and given a new life its given an hours worth of entertainment and raised money for a good cause.

Its a win win!

Julia popped in with some jigsaws for us that her husband has completed and while she was here got some more for him for have a go at!

Perfect example of giving items a second or even third chance.

Thank you Julia!

This is a great rule of thumb for when your donating your items to us!

The best question is
'would i give this to a friend'

Were really grateful for all donations and it makes a huge diffrence in so many ways!

Baby clothing doesnt necessarily have to be for baby's!

This beautiful monkey was a childhood favorite of one of our volunteers and after finding him in the loft, she has lovingly restored him and today found a jumper with bananas on!

Hes absolutely perfect!
