In response to Jonny Vegas comments...Kinder Handl Community Enterprise CIC has never been a charity shop nor said it was as it’s NOT! It’s whole model (all information with the regulator) is based around social inclusion. They have helped 100’s of families over the 8 years, providing free services to countless health visitors for families in need, social work with furniture and clothing, free nappies, toys, school uniform..working with disabled adults from colleges to attain back to work qualifications..

I find it astonishing that people write such nonsense because it’s what they think rather than asking the people who work there. All but 2 members of staff are volunteers. The bulk of the staff are living with mental health issues too.

Had you ever considered what it costs to run a 3rd sector organisation? Rent, utilities, salaries, factors, storage, insurances, accounts, payroll,...there are about 15-20 bills paid monthly. It’s a horrendous outlay...but why do they put themselves through it? Because of the social impact. The people they help on a daily basis.

When people donate they are hoping for you to get the most money possible to allow for the social venture to continue - not hope they put it in for a £1 as someone else can flog it for a fortune elsewhere. 
 

Throughout the pandemic all the staff have kept their jobs, been able to carry on and stay safe at home. If it wasn’t for the kindness of the donations and help from the government this would not have been possible. 
 

It is up to you where you buy from but I know the customers that come in want to spend to help keep the ongoing projects alive. If everything was £1 no one on the high street would survive 6 months. The selling price is akin to what it’s worth. If you want cheap stuff then there are car-boots opening in a few months. 

Please do not say anything that is untrue. It is pointless and unnecessary. The truth is not hard to find. You just have to ask!
