The company runs a second hand children's and babies' goods shop. We sell on good quality donated children's, toys, books, clothes and equipment to the local community at very cheap prices, operating along the lines of a "charity shop;" with everyone being a volunteer and profits dispersed to Guisborough schools and charities. We continue to provide a much needed community resource for parents, grandparents, foster-parents and teachers of SEN children. In the financial year 1st May 2023-30th April 2024, we have continued to provide part-time work experience for 8 volunteers with various health issues or caring responsibilities who have benefited from being part of our community. Allowing them to gain confidence in the work place and build relationships with customers and other staff members. We have continued recycling school uniform to the local free Uniform Bank, taught children from a young age the joys of thrift shop shopping, by having a child friendly environment and become a regular feature of our High Street, with regular customers and donators, who are usually both. We continue to open only limited hours, as all staff are volunteers, but hope to increase these in the coming year.
The company's stakeholders are the volunteers and shop users, both donators and customers. We have regular staff meetings to discuss how to improve the shop for volunteers and shoppers. We chat to and encourage suggestions from shoppers on what might improve their experience, for instance, we now have 3 for a pound rummage tubs of baby clothes to allow us to put out more stock in limited space. The nature of the business encourages interaction, as most customers like to chat, even if just to ask if we have certain items in stock or whether we can source them for them. The directors have all lived in Guisborough or the surrounding area for a number of years and bought up our children here, giving us the realization that our shop is a much needed resource. A particular asset with local shop closures and continuing rising prices. We have donated £2,500 this financial year, £1,500 to Maxi's Mates (registered charity and local dog kennels) and £1,000 to The Guisborough Arts charity - Giants Trail Project.
