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.

Please don't leave your donations on the door step while we're closed.

We could have arranged a home collection for this treadmill, it would have gone straight to our Swansea store where it would have raised funds for our work to support people in crisis. Instead, it's been left in the rain and we're going to have to use our resources to dispose of it.

We have a sign on the door asking for donations to not be left outside while we're closed. We also currently have another sign on the door advising that we are unable to take donations at present due to capacity issues. We hope we'll have space again tomorrow.

We love receiving your donations - when we're open and able to store and process them. We're so grateful to our wonderful donors, your saleable goods are what keeps us raising money for the amazing work our colleagues do across the UK and the world, such as in Nepal at present.

Thank you for your support and understanding. And if you left this with the best of intentions, we'd be very grateful if you could come and collect it please.

Edit: Thank you to the scrappy who came and took it away. Pavement is now clear for use again 😊
