A message of connection, kindness and hope. ❤️

As Charlie Mackesy shares: "I am sure wearing the shirt will mean different things to people. For me, it is a gentle expression of something simple, but deeply important: that we're all connected, and that kindness and compassion for all those facing crisis really matters, perhaps now more than ever."

A powerful reminder that compassion can bring people together when it's needed most.

Found this quite interesting...

While it's obviously a report from a different charity, it does serve as a reminder that we accept donations in order to sell them to raise funds for the charity. Charity shops are not waste disposal services, so please think about what you are donating is suitable for sale 👍

(Here at the Red Cross we can still generate income from textile recycling, so if you have items which are beyond selling then do feel free to bring them in for our rag collection.)

Dorset Blind Association urging the public to think carefully before donating, as it spends £2,500 every month disposing of goods that can't be sold or recycled

Got some high end items in at the moment! 🍾 🥂

We rely on our generous donors for the vast majority of our stock, and for that we are so grateful 🥰

However, we have hardly any storage space and occasionally we may need to turn donations away while we sort through what we already have in store.

Obviously we have to be mindful of keeping our workspaces safe. If you're planning on making a special journey to donate stock, please call us on 01202 433190 to make sure we can accommodate your stuff. Thanks for your understanding 😊

ETA If you would like to donate to the British Red Cross and we are full, your closest shops are in Poole and Ringwood 👍

It's another scorcher today and although some people are enjoying the hot weather, it can be seriously dangerous for others. In the interests of keeping everyone safe and well, we will be closing at lunch time today. Thanks for your understanding and keep cool everyone.
