Thrift Stores in Rayleigh, Essex

“I dropped off a few items over a couple of days 9-10 Nov 2022, mainly books my wife has read.I couldn’t have asked for a friendlier reception from Bettina and Wendy who also explained about the gift aid reclamation on donated items, I signed up there and then (after I had moved my car).It’s also very convenient to be able to pull up at their rear entrance doors for those heavier or bulkier items.I will be dropping off more items at some point in the future.Bettina also mentioned that any electrical items go to their Basildon store; so anyone thinking of dropping of electrical items into the Rayleigh shop, who also goes to Basildon might prefer to drop them directly into Basildon.My suggestion not the staff’s.”

“Can be relied upon for a slice of the ancient market town's donated used products. Great for media rarities and furniture bargain buys. There are parking bays outside the door and plenty of available cycle stands in this central Rayleigh location. Long may the store prosper!”

“Lovely charity shop with a fantastic selection. Well laid out, friendly staff, they seem to have lot’s of new items donated by shops/ businesses too. Very fairly priced. Well worth visiting. I’ve had some great buys in there- new Men’s slippers for £5, new kids Disney sliders for £2, great selection of toys, clothes and books. It’s a large shop too so can spend some time there. Would recommend for gifts too.”
