How Gillingham Street Angels Charity Shops Support Medway

When you step into one of the Gillingham Street Angels charity shops in Medway, you’re not just shopping — you’re helping to change lives. Our shops in Gillingham and Chatham are packed with affordable, good-quality second-hand treasures, and every pound you spend goes straight back into supporting vulnerable people across our community.

More Than Just a Shop

Our charity shops are a lifeline for many. They provide affordable essentials for families, students, and individuals while also raising vital funds to keep our services running. From foodbanks and wellbeing programmes to safe spaces and recycling projects, your purchases directly support those who need it most in Medway.

What You’ll Find in Store

Each shop is full of hidden gems and everyday essentials, including:

• Furniture and household goods

• White goods and small electricals

• Clothing for adults and children

• Toys, games, and books

• Bric-a-brac and unique finds

With stock changing daily, no two visits are ever the same — and the bargains are unbeatable.

Free School Uniform Banks

Rising costs make school uniforms a challenge for many families. That’s why each of our shops hosts a Free School Uniform Bank, where parents and carers can swap outgrown uniforms and pick up replacements free of charge. It’s one of the many ways we’re working to ease the pressure on local families.

A Sustainable Choice

Shopping second-hand isn’t just good for your wallet — it’s good for the planet too. By donating and buying pre-loved items, you’re helping to reduce waste, cut down on landfill, and give quality goods a second life.

How You Can Help

There are three simple ways to support our charity shops:

1. Shop with us – find great deals while supporting your local community.

2. Donate items – from clothing and toys to furniture and household goods.

3. Spread the word – tell your friends, family, and neighbours about our shops.
