The Aspirations Charity Shop is located at 134A London Road, Southend-on-Sea, SS1 1PQ. We are open Monday to Saturday, 9am - 5pm, and closed on Sundays.

 

Free parking is available outside the building for 1 hour, as well as at the London Road Retail Park. 

 

We sell a variety of pre-loved items, clothing and  bric-a-brac all at reasonable prices. Stock changes regularly so you will always find something different! Please keep a look out for our regular special events, such as flash sales and mystery bags. 

 

Our shop relies on the generosity of our local community for donations to sell, and this is a major source of funding for our charity. We would be so grateful for any items that you would like to donate, items that we will always accept: –

• Clothing, accessories & footwear (ladies, men’s and children’s) in good, clean condition. Stained, soiled or well-worn clothing do not benefit us, and in fact cost us money to dispose of.

• Toys, games and puzzles

• Books, music and media

• Homeware and decorative items

• Kitchen equipment (not knives)

• Bric-a-brac 

 

All items must meet our strict safety and quality standards. ​Unfortunately we are unable to accept donations of large electrical items or furniture due to limited space.

​

Due to the busy nature of our shop, we are always in need of volunteers, even if you are only available for a few hours a week, we would be very grateful for your time! If you are interested in volunteering, please contact info@aspirationsprogram.org.uk.
