I always find unexpected treasures when I visit. Today they were a lovely china hen for storing eggs in & some fabulous 1950's china for a friend - along with my usual books (which I donate back once read) - a jigsaw for my mum & a couple of items of clothing for friends/family. It is such a simple yet effective way of recycling, supporting the community and helping out those on limited incomes & we are lucky to have such a resource. If you haven't been then go - take your unwanted items for someone else - pop some money in the jar - they need to raise about £50 per day to pay the rent, bills etc. & volunteer if you have some spare time!

Love this place. Drop off things you don't want and leave with things you do. The only trouble is that you leave with more than you came with as it's full to the brim with such lovely stuff. I've found such treasure for my home, family members and myself it's worth the drive out there. The best bit- not only are your getting some lovely items but your supporting a great cause.

wonderful place, helpful friendly staff. On my doorstep so great for my decluttering, as well as buying clothes and books for my little Angel who is growing like a weed!. Perfectly situated by other little shops/cafe too, with excellent parking. Great vibe, and pay what you can afford/can contribute, which is an excellent system. I Believe the proceeds go to helping lads like my son, so another bonus. Very grateful indeed <3

Great place. People drop stuff off regularly. People come to browse the myriad and ever changing stuff. People drop off a donation (in the "Honesty Jar Pot" or contactless by card) if they can to help keep a roof over their heads. They have helped loads of people and organisations in need. Loads of clothes, books, DVDs, kids stuff, crafting stuff and just all sorts. People are so friendly. Not crowded. Donations are left to sit for a few days before sorting and putting out. Now at Grassroots Garden Centre BA8 0SA.

A great, voluntarily run, place. Items either swapped for your contributions or give a donation if nothing to contribute. Now sited on premises of a very reasonably priced garden centre and aquatics business on the outskirts of Henstridge, Somerset

Such kind and helpful staff. Gentleman laughed when I called him a gentleman, but he was. He also searched for things I needed and pointed out a few things he thought that might be useful. Very grateful.
