Big St Christopher's open for donations only

[siousxiesue]

The Facebook page has announced the big shop will be open for donations only from Monday 8th March.

Not sure how it will work, assume staffed at the doors.

Its how they make enough to support those with EOL (look it up) conditions and their families. People like my late partner.

Remember the old maxim: If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.

Some of their stuff is of good quality hence higher costs. They also have a hefty rent bill to pay each month. Their landlord gave them an option of paying higher rent or get out. There had been enquirers from a large national chain to open up there (cannot remember which one as was told a while ago by one of the volunteers)
