Walking in is like going on a mini adventure. You never know what you’ll find—a mid-century sideboard, a retro armchair, or a set of dining chairs that look like they just stepped out of a design magazine. The stock changes constantly, so every visit feels like a lucky dip.
The best part? The prices are bonkers good. I once saw a solid oak table for the cost of a fancy pizza. No joke. You can furnish an entire room for less than what you’d spend on a single new sofa from a big store.
And it’s all sorted by volunteers who clearly have an eye for style. Nothing looks like sad leftovers. It’s curated, believe it or not. You’ll leave feeling like a champion bargain hunter—and with a lighter carbon footprint, which is just a bonus.
The Secret Sauce: It’s All About Pilgrims Hospices
Now, let’s get to the heart of this place. Every pound you spend goes directly to Pilgrims Hospices in east Kent. These are the angels who provide care for people with life-limiting illnesses, supporting not just patients but their families too. That’s heavy stuff, but the shop makes it easy to help.
You don’t have to run a marathon or bake a cake. You just buy a lamp. Or a wardrobe. Or a slightly extravagant vase you don’t need but absolutely have to have. That purchase becomes a tiny act of kindness. It’s almost too easy.
We're delighted to announce the opening of our exciting new #Chartham
Pilgrims Hospices relies on shops like this for funding. Over 80% of their income comes from the community—from people like you and me. So when you grab that retro coffee table, you’re not just decorating your living room. You’re helping a nurse visit someone at home. You’re funding a cup of tea and a kind word for a worried family member.
