Doing Good With Your Unwanted Goods #secondhandseptember
In our last Second Hand September blog post, we mentioned that there are some charities and organisations that do more that just resell your unwanted items, they use them to do some good in the world! So below we have listed some top organisations, which will give new life to your unwanted stuff :) (The heading for each charity is a link to take you to their website for more info!)

When You Want To Get Rid! #secondhandseptember
It is all well and good me banging on about the virtues of buying second hand, but what about things you no longer want.

Stock moves quickly so always worth nipping in! Equally, a brilliant place to pass on your unwanted items...

Anyone that knows me personally knows not to ask me where something is from now. The answer is normally second hand. They have also stopped asking me if I'm worried if someone died in it. No, I''m not. I'm just glad not to be contributing to a massive global problem. And to be slowly kicking a massive addiction. I love a good second hand...
