HOW THE FREE SHOP WORKS

Our Free Shop allows community members to access essential items without cost. There is no judgement and no complicated process. If you need something, you are welcome to visit and see what is available. Items in the shop come from generous donations from local residents and organisations, helping resources circulate within the community rather than go to waste. A Small Contribution To help keep the shop running, a £1 entry donation is welcome, along with the option to pay it forward for someone else. This contribution helps support the running of the space and allows the project to continue helping families in Ashford. If you are unable to contribute, you are still warmly welcome. The aim of the shop is to ensure everyone can access what they need with dignity. Items often available
