About

This charity shop operates as part of a nationwide animal welfare organization that has been helping vulnerable pets since 1897. Located on Broad Street in Teddington, the store sells pre-owned clothing, books, toys, household items, and soft furnishings alongside new merchandise and greeting cards. The shop is open Monday through Saturday from 9am to 5pm and accepts quality donated items from the community. Pet owners will find this establishment particularly relevant as it accepts pet food donations to help families who struggle to feed their animals. The organization works to keep pets and their owners together by providing food assistance to those in need. All proceeds from shop sales directly support the care of sick, injured, and homeless animals across the country. The shop relies on community donations and volunteer support to fund its animal welfare mission. Customers can contribute through Gift Aid on purchases, which allows the organization to claim additional tax relief on donations. The store serves as both a source of affordable goods for shoppers and a vital fundraising outlet that generated millions in revenue for animal care services.
