T-Bird

Barnardo's

"This is my local Barnados, wonderful staff and always treasures to find. Parking is free for an hour and half outside the store, convenient location, accessible and always well stocked. If you see something, buy it, it won't be there the next day. Prices range from 50pence to around £10 maximum for everything. They also have regular feature weekends e.g Back to school, Linen Weekend, summer holidays etc where you can find everything you need. This is my favourite local spot 😍💖"

Rebecca
