I am disabled and I was looking around to buy myself a new chair for my bedroom so that I can sit down on a chair instead of the bed as I was getting very uncomfortable at times and I just could not find a nice chair, which was affordable for my needs. All the ones I liked were priced at over £100 just for a basic one, and in January I had a very bad fall at home and could not get out of bed for 2 weeks and my son told me I may find one in a charity shop much cheaper and may be able to restore one if I could buy one from somewhere.

We hopefully all know that the funds raised by The BHF go towards funding research for heart disease, some of that by general giving, some of that from sales in charity stores, some by fundraising and whatever other means spring to mind. My review is particularly regarding the store in Sheffield City Centre. In terms of charity shops, this one is a fairly run of the mill version with one exception. They have a cellar store room which is heaving with dresses. Wedding dresses, bridesmaids dresses, frocks flounces and fripperies galore. I'm not sure that Joe or Josephine Public can go down there, they've always asked what I'm after and brought me a selection. ...  Read the complete review
