The Charity shop provides a focal point for the Organisation. Money raised in the shop and from our fundraising activities is used to support the work we carry out. This includes the financing of our:

- Lifeline.Maintenance and repairs of wheelchairs and other care equipment.
All money raised, in excess of the day-to-day business of financing the above, is put into a special fund, which we wish to use for our future Projects. One of our aims is to open a Drop-In Centre where people can meet, get information and join in various activities if they wish.
We are always grateful for good quality donated items; clean clothing, bric-a-brac etc., but, unfortunately, we are unable to accept electrical goods because of safety regulations, or furniture due to lack of space.
