I don't know about Mind specifically but some other charities have shops which specialise in different goods; a friend of my mother's volunteers for Help the Aged in her home town and they have different shops in the area for adult clothing, children's clothing, books, CDs and DVDs, that sort of thing. So although you have taken it to one shop, they may have bagged up all the children's clothes and sent them to another shop.


You could always ask in the shop, I'm sure they'd be happy to tell you.


HTH.

The mind shop takes in everything, but they don't necessarily sell everything in their shop. Much of the stuff donated is sorted through and then collected by a van - to be resold/recycled elsewhere, often because 'elsewhere' is more appropriate for the stuff donated - like electrical goods and baby equipment, both of which have to be safety checked (which is why a lot of smaller charity shops don't take these items) before being resold/reused.

Saying that, I'd find it odd if they didn't sell baby clothes (given the SE22 market), perhaps they do but they just don't stay on the hanger long enough to notice.....

I find the people at the Mind shop really helpful and so take all of our unwanted (but still usable) stuff down there.

I asked about this in the Mind shop a while ago because we've given loads of kids' clothes over the years -- and picked up some lovely things as well. They definitely used to sell children's clothes, but stopped a couple of years ago -- I was told (by the nice, very pierced chap who I think manages the place) that they didn't have enough space for children's clothes any more. At the time I pointed out that this was a big shame, particularly given how many young families there were in the area (donors and customers). We now give our children's things to the St Christopher's Hospice shop which supports a wonderful local resource.

    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.
