We receive good quality clothing and other donated goods from folk from all over Shetland. Volunteers work in our huge storage unit ('the Shed') in Lerwick to sort these donations into male and and to load these in labelled bags into our trailer that is based at the Shed. The trailer takes these clothes and other donated goods to be distributed by Blythswood. Other clothing and donated goods are sold in our pop-up shops held in Lerwick two or three times per year. These gifts, and money the shops make, provide us with funds we are able to give to charities which do so much good work on our behalf.
