Today we welcomed two very special customers: Maria from Guatemala, who works with Save the Children fundraising, and Kevin.

Maria was overjoyed to discover that our new goods are inspired by children supported through Save the Children. She was especially touched to learn that our Doodle Range was designed by 11-year-old Ananbely from Guatemala. Hearing the story behind it nearly moved her to tears.

A big thank you as well to Maria and Kevin, who have kindly agreed to be our ambassadors in promoting votes for our shop as the UK’s Favourite Charity Shop.
