The Salvation Army Community Shop

Oh dear. I was excited when I saw a new Sally Army shop opening.
While I know it has newly opened and needs more donations, it really does appear like someone painted a sign, bunged in a few clothes rails and that was it.
The first thing that struck me when I walked in was the smell, eau de homeless tramp I believe is the name of the scent. I actually couldn’t bring myself to rifle through the rails but I couldn’t see any great potential on the racks anyhow. It had a few cute old fashioned pictures but these were selling for a fiver where other charity shops would be selling them for £2. I can’t bring myself to give it 1 star as its a charitable store but it needs to do something about the uninviting odour.

The Salvation Army is a charitable and religious organization dedicated to caring for the poor and homeless. A new addition to the many charity shops on East Street, this one has yet to pick up on the donation front. Stocking the usual bric-​à-​brac items, but less of them, you won’t have to dig deep in this little shop. But if you’re partial to a bit of a friendly chit chat whilst indulging in your bargain hunt, you are sure to be offered it here.
