> “We wanted to offer a real point of difference from what other charity shops are
> offering in the area, to appeal to a wider customer base.”

On the choice of location he said: “Leytonstone is an up-and-coming area with lots
of footfall, so it’s the ideal location to trial a boutique concept.”

The charity has already begun inviting Leystonstone residents to donate their used(
or “pre-loved”) goods to the new shop, to volunteer and to visit the shop.
