Absolute top notch quality customer service from an older looking chap named scott. Very well dressed and obviously well educated as he could tell me the difference between a pastel drawing and a watercolour. I wish all barnardos had a scott in them. They should change the name to scotts. Will be back.

CHARITY DOES NOT MEAN EVERYTHING IS YOURS FOR FREE.Today 6/1/22 this bed tray desk of mine was leaned on the wall at the very entrance of the charity shop t for just a few minutes. It disappeared.. I did put the desk there not to be confused with Barnardo's stuff. Almost sure the man who picked up ( you, the one at the back office you know who I am saying) saw me leaving it, because I saw him around. I asked at the cash point and the guy went back office to ask for. The tray was returned, but the white bag that covered ti not... "where is the white bag?"..."I don't know". The funny thing is that the first response from the guy has been " we do not collect furniture" so excuse of getting confused as it were a donation does not work here.Please take care next time. Bad for you pal ( yourself, exactly, you know who).

A very expensive charity shop where most items are way over priced, l know they are a charity but its sad when It's actually cheaper to buy some items here brand new.I've seen clothes with a rips in the neck area, who would buy that and the same with the shoes where someone has ripped them also.

Bought a second hand couch from Barnardo's in May. It wouldnt fit through the door so the guys took it apart and lifted it through the window. They also re assembled in the living room. Brilliant service and delighted with my couch

Sells anything clothes to bric in brac to furniture the furniture for a charity shop is quite expensive and sometimes no worth the price

It's quite good for odd bits of furniture, but they also have a different section that's more 'classic' charity shop.

Ok so I wrote myself a reminder for this review on the iphone app that read: Holy Prices! In all honesty I was kinda tempted to just leave it at that and publish cos, well not go on about ut, but jeez! HOLY PRICES. Just to clarify, this is a HP them prices are high, not HP them's cheap! Having just moved to the area I was keen on hitting up the local charity shops (coffee shops, pubs, charity shops... in that order) to sort oot the wheat from the chaff. With the uber successful visit to the nearby Shelter under my belt, I popped in here for a shifty at the furiture / schtuff (nae claithes in this joint) and was whacked in the face by a big HP (underline, bold, change font to 24). Ok so I know charity shops are designed to raise awareness of the charity and making a few pennies at the same time. I get this... I do. I also don't want to sound like a cheap ass, but hey, when I go to a charity joint, I don't expect to be looking at furniture with three digit price tags... how much was it new?! In fairness to the folks, the gear is generally in good nick (we picked up a couple of wee IKEA for the small child like one, for £3 a pop, that were barely used), with a wide selection to look at. But HP... HP.

Barnardos is pretty huge for a charity sop and well organised, I have found a few suit items in here, so there is stuff of quality. There is never a whole load of stuff that fits me, I find the sizes quite big or extra super small, and even if I do like something after 5 minutes of looking at my self, looking like I am 10 and trying my mums clothes on, I have to resign myself to putting it back. I have found the girl that volunteers here to be very helpful and pleasant to talk to.

It's mighty hard to write reviews on charity shops because the stock is unpredictable and forever changing! But that's a reason why we find ourselves wandering back to them, and a reason why we love them. This one, I have noticed, has a consistently large crockery collection. I stop by whenever I can if I need my weekly teapot fix, and sometimes throw in the odd cup or six. They quite often acquire those long, lanky 70s teapots, usually a brown hue which stand tall like proud soldiers next to mugs of tea. Like Chris said, they always seem to stock a mass of old vinyl records, in particular folk and 50s compilations. Additionally, they have of late gained a juicy loot of rings and bracelets. There's something in that swag basket for everyone, from rose rings to faux diamond studded silver jewellery. In the room adjoined to the vinyl paradise there is normally a vast arrangement of furniture at affordable prices. If it leans towards expensive, it's usually because it's in mint condition and you're giving to charity after all, so suck it up! I go back for the tea collection everytime (I'm going back tomorrow for a teapot) but this store is certainly big enough to hold something suited to everyone's tastes!
