MP opens new charity shop
MP Marsha de Cordova cut the ribbon to open a new Mind charity shop today.
The mental health charity opened the doors of a new shop in Old York Road, Wandsworth, with the help of the Battersea MP.
The shop offers everything from stylish clothing and vintage must-haves to bric-a-brac bargains.
Donations and sales made at the Old York Road Mind shop will go to help support the one in four people who will experience a mental health problem every year.
Mind welcomes residents to donate pre-loved items and encourages shoppers searching for affordable fashion or gifts for loved ones.
The average bag of items donated to Mind shops is worth around £30. This amount could help 45 people find hope during tough times on Mind’s online peer support community Side by Side, or help Mind send out 250 information booklets, so people who are struggling with their mental health can make sense of what they are going through and find ways to cope.

“A FREE COUNTRY NEEDS A FREE PRESS, AND THE NEWSPAPERS OF OUR COUNTRY ARE UNDER SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL PRESSURE”
If you can afford to do so, we would be so grateful if you can make a donation which will allow us to continue to bring stories to you, both in print and online.
