The Dorset Childrens Foundation

If you're seriously low income, this shop has a little bit of absolutely everything second hand. I've actually donated a lot to these guys. ☺

I run the Poole Charity Dart League which runs through the summer months raising money for local charities & good causes in the main. Unfortunately this last summer was wiped out by Covid but I was contacted by one of the dart team captains showing me cheques which had been mislaid & never cashed both made out to DCF totalling £400. It was a great pleasure to write out a replacement cheque which I sent direct asking that a receipt for the donation be sent to the team captain.It was a nice surprise to get a note from the charity thanking me for sending the donation & a receipt would be sent as requested.Now some may say 'so what' but here's the thing this charity does a huge amount to help those children and their families who need a helping hand & to take the time and trouble to send me a thank you note was special. I have helped run the league for a few years now, the last two alone & I could count the number of 'Thank You' notes on one hand so to get this one was special especially as they are so busy.So if you are looking for a cause to support keep them in mind whether its a pound or a hundred they will use your donation wisely.

you just never know what you are going to find ......helpful staff x

If there was ever a cause you should get behind and support Dorset Children's Society is it. They have a few secondhand shop's which raises money for amazing causes. It's run by a beautiful, heart warming couple who dedicate most of their lives too this great cause. I have to mention there manger jayne as she is great fun and a heart bigger than anyone I know. They have always a variety of ways of raising money from skydiving to dinners. There shops also help people in the community as well as raising money for this great cause. I could never do it justice by my words but I would like to give them a big thank you as they have shown me so much about helping myself by helping others. They will always be close to my heart and people I will always look up too.

Best charity shop in Boscombe. Lovely staff, many nice things and priced affordably, as they should be in charity shops.

The sell clothes, shoes, kitchen ware such as cups, knives and forks, etc. Phone and computer cables. Nice staff. Large shop.

This is a worthy charity and goods are reasonably priced. This means I quite often impulse buy from here which is good for both me and the charity. Shame not all charity shops don't have the same attitude. Keep up the very good work.

Great choice and prices. No fuss charity shop.

Just a great charity, supporting deserving children to have a better life.
