Save The Children Fund

One of Sutton’s oldest charity shops as far as I know (I first ventured in there in about 1994) and one of it’s smartest and most welcoming, Save the Children has always been a favourite charity shop of mine because it’s the sort of shop it’s almost impossible to find a bad word for (not that I’m trying).
This shop deals in a lot of clothes, a fair few books, some children’s toys and board games and a handful of records. It’s recently had a refit but still exudes the same warm, charity shop charm it has always had. This being Sutton Coldfield, the quality of the cast-​offs is pretty damn high so you can be sure that the books are usually in good nick (and usually quite modern) although I’m in no position to comment on the quality of the middle-​aged women’s blouses or skirts.
