Charity Shops
Our charity shops generate over £100,000 a year to support the lost, abandoned and unwanted pets in our care, from across the North East of England.
Support Our Shops
There are many ways companies, local community groups, schools, colleges, universities and individuals can help support our shops. From donating end of line stock, holding a collection event at work or community group, sorting out at home, and promoting our charity to your customers, colleagues, friends and neighbours. Our network of local charity shops are a great place to find your next bargain. And what’s more, our Vinted Store offers UK-wide delivery.
Our shops are run by volunteers.
Our Seaham shop is open 10:30am-3pm every Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri, & Sat. Closed every Wed and Sun.
