“Lots of great quality items in this charity shop! It's on the smaller side but well laid out so it's easy to find everything, including clothes, books, DVDs/CDs, toys and games, and bric-a-brac. Always pop in for a quick browse whenever I'm in Northfield.”

“Just had the most wonderful shopping experience from a fantastic member of the team at Marie Curie Swan Centre Yardley BirminghamNicholas took time to explain the benefits of gift aid to me and how my donations would be worth 25% more simply by signing up to gift aidNicholas signed me up on the spot and gave me a great leaflet to find out more via the websiteIt is rare to find someone that cares so passionately about the customers so I’m sure I will be looking for my next bargain very soon with help from Nicholas and the teamDefinitely a ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review”

“I worked at Oxfam for 3 months [July - Sep '19] as a cashier and voluntary assistant as part of the volunteering section of my Gold DofE and it helped me develop my cashier skills.NB//The list of benefits I experienced working there include the following:1. I was able to pray upstairs in the attic, with the permission of the store manager Jo (who was very kind to me throughout my experience at the store).2. I was able to get a refund for my bud ticket of £3 for my bus fair (which I used to buy snacks and food from a nearby Greggs).3. There was free biscuits and tea from the assistant manager.In addition, Jo taught me how to properly use the cashier machine and customer service skills e.g. introducing myself to others, working at the till, scanning other people's products and items.I very much enjoyed my experience working at Oxfam and would like to personally thank Jo, the store manager for being very patient and helpful.I would gladly work there again in the future ? ? ?”

“Know the people that run it now after popping in on almost a weekly basis. .usually taking donations in..Very friendly and welcoming shop....had few good buys there...main charity shop I go to in Rubery..if I had to I would give then 12 out of 10!”

“UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT! And that is great, the charity shop is now starting to look alot more bright and always update the range. They have also great customer service and are looking to broaden their sales to younger members of the public.”

“I go there to buy books at a cheap price. Why don't I go the library? My reading speed isn't what it used to be, so I buy a book from Oxfam, you bet your arse it will still be unread a month from now. Also, it helps a charity; you really can't go wrong there.”

“I give endlessly to this lovely shop and buy too. I have never been greeted by anything less than a warm smile and attitude of whoever is volunteering there at the time.I just don’t get the poor rating. These people are volunteers, so please don’t pure them down after 1 bad encounter. Be Kind!”

“I have been using this shop for many years, the staff are always friendly and helpful, even when busy they take time to help you or talk to you, the shop is clean and well stocked, I have found many bargains, I donate a lot of items which they are grateful for. A lot cheaper and cleaner than other charity shops”

“Recently they collected a wardrobe from me for no cost they were very helpful and polite.The Northfield branch picked it up.Please phone them if you are having a clear out as they collect furniture for the shop.”

“Friendly and helpful staff. I really enjoy over hearing their interactions with other customers as they welcome them to the shop and help with queries. Some real gems to be found on the racks too”

“As this is a second hand shop you will be very surprised the things they have in . All l can say is if you find something it is best to get it there are then as a lot of things get snaped up fast. If you are going for furniture just take a tape measure with you so you can double check that it is going to fit when you get the furniture home.”

“While some of their rare collectible books are overpriced, Oxfam Books & Music in Harborne is the best charity shop I have used for secondhand books. I have found some fabulous well-priced books in there.The staff are lovely. Always polite, friendly and helpful.”

“Run by a wonderful manager who is always incredibly helpful. Amazing rotation of staff who are always kind and welcoming to customers, new and old. Amazing stock, usually a gem to be found, regardless of your preference.”

“One of the best charity shops I have ever come across. Items are priced reasonable and mostly brilliant designer bargains to get hold of. Trainers and hats good too, unworn condition a few. Selection of items are one of the best I have seen. Little wear and tear. Staff are polite helpful and professional. Could not fault at all - 10 out of 10.”

“I assume it’s good. Sat nav took me to the wrong one! Never anywhere to park so normally go to Mere Green shop. 3 or 4 times a year have a wardrobe clear out and they raise £250 a time.”

“I'm giving this 5 stars to counter the utterly ridiculous 1* review. The fact this person feels there are too many charity shops shouldn't reflect on the charity and the shop itself.”

“2 lovely gentleman called Joe & Mark collected some furniture items, I found them very pleasant and professional. They are a credit to you. In fact I have some more items and they would gladly come to collect them.”

“Yet another successful visit to this. Wonderful shop. Beautifully set out downstairs and a delightful cafe upstairs along with books and jigsaws. Met with a group of friends for coffee , we received excellent service from the staff here and the cafe was a hive activity and chatter by mid morning. Coffeee and cakes excellent and bagged a bargain on the way out. Booked our next excursion for next week.”
