Everyone's a Critic....

We welcome reviews and feedback as we always want to improve here at Brook Green.

(*Cue mini rant* However rudeness and abuse because we won't give you a discount will be ignored, as we are trying to raise as much money as we can for Trinity Hospice and so we need to sell things at a fair price. *Rant over*)

Here is a small round up of some reviews/comments found on the internet

Brook Green Bugle - "Top designers, brands and other stylish items in a high-quality boutique environment are the various USPs of BugleLand's newest charity shop, unveiled to a rapturous response from residents."

Just found this one, which was written for when we opened a few years ago!
My Village - "With an array of donated goods gracing the floor, and fine art decorating the shop's walls it will be a shopping experience unlike any other. Each visit to a Trinity store is different – and if you’re willing to rummage around a little, you may just find something really special."
(Although A Ralph Lauren polo shirt would be £14 - £20 here, depending on condition....)

This is about the Victoria shop, but we do get a name check ;) and we love to share the Trinity Hospice Charity Shops love. Other shop locations here.
Pocketful of Sunshine - "This is the perfect place for Londoners to pop along for some inexpensive merino and superwash wool for colour work. It's a charity shop near Victoria Station (85 Wilton Road)..."

Shall post more when we find them, or if you find any or even write one, please tell us so we can have a good read and maybe link it!

Bye for now

And so it begins....

Halfway between Hammersmith and Shepherds Bush, exists Brook Green's best kept secret. Trinity Hospice's shop at 84 Shepherds Bush Road, W6 7PD, is full of anything and everything people can donate!

This first blog is to introduce you to our shop and Trinity Hospice, but we hope to introduce you to staff and volunteers, show stock and the interesting, unusual and exciting donations.

The Brook Green store has a loyal and generous local community providing high quality regular donations of pre-owned stock - clean, high quality merchandise.

This means new stock all the time and designer labels at accessible prices.

For shopping that wont break the bank and knowing you are helping to support Trinity Hospice, we have the most amazing new and nearly new designer and vintage bargains. Search out our donated designer labels from brands like Paul Smith, Kenzo, Prada, Miu Miu, Diane Von Furstenburg, Chloe, Hugo Boss, and Armani and many others!

We carry woman's wear and menswear, accessories, home ware, art,  books - including 1st editions and collectables, music and children's clothes and toys.  New stock goes out everyday so you never know what you might find....



We rely on donations and so there may be some blog pleas on occasion, but we do ask nicely!  When stock is donated we would love everyone to sign up to Gift Aid. It only works if you are a UK Taxpayer, but it really helps us as it increases the value of your donation at no cost to you.  Gift Aid now adds 25% to the value of the goods you donate to Trinity.
The important information here explains all. It might not sound a lot (25p extra for £1) but it all adds up!


 
This blog is here to raise the profile of the Trinity Hospice charity so please feel free to use the comments section to express an interest in your favourite items and support
Trinity Hospice (or find them on twitter or facebook)

Trinity provides skilled, compassionate end of life care to individuals and support for families in our central and south west London community.  All our patient and family services are free of charge.  Our services include nursing and medical care, counselling and practical support, welfare advice, occupational and physiotherapy, complementary therapies, creative activities and bereavement care.  It costs £9.6 million each year to maintain Trinity’s services but less than a third of our funding comes from the NHS. We depend on the support of our local community in the form of donations, fundraising and legacies to continue our work.
