Impact Charity is pleased to announce the opening of a second shop in La Marina. The shop will concentrate purely on EMAUS children's home Elche...Caritas.. "food for the needy La Marina / San Fulgencio. People may say "not another charity shop", well this shop is a first of its kind in La Marina / San Fulgencio. When the council started "food for the needy" we have being asking customers to drop off food donations for which Impact Charity added to the appeal, and took part in the Bay Radio 5 km walk for caritas. With the amount of groups Impact Charity donates to it was not sustainable to continue with just one shop. What we hope by opening this new shop is by being able to donate more money to the animal groups we support. As we will dedicate one shop for the animals and one shop for the people. It is in Impact Charities constitution that we can assist people as well as animals.
Everyone will remember the old SATS shop under the laundrette on the top of the strip by cagneys bar. This is where the new shop will be based. Yes it will be a risk but the offer was to good o turn down. The shop will open on the 1st of October
We will be hoping to work with the council and liaise with the social services. The shop will also serve as a food bank. If any emergencies arise with anyone needing food immideatley.
We are asking the members of the public to help in anyway they can.. Food donations, clothes bric-a-brac furniture anything you can think of we will need. We will be making a appeal to the Spanish public too as many of them try and help caritas I some way or another.
This shop will in no way be related to animal welfare, the animal welfare side will continue at our main shop opposite soterins. We are hoping by doing this we will be able donate more money to all these groups by having two shops working towards there own separate goals.
We are looking for volunteers, we will be looking for a manager to run the shop in the same manner as our main shop is run if anyone is interested please pop in to the main shop and ask for Trevor or Christine. This will include arranging fund raising, liasing with the council and Caritas

If anyone has donations of any kind please pop them in to the main shop. Food, clothes bric-a-brac. If you have any un-wanted furniture this can be picked up.

JUST TO LET EVERYONE KNOW. THIS MONDAY ALL CLOTHES WILL BE €1 EURO.

Anyone is entitled to start another charity shop,, my only concern is that once again the pot is being diluted as people only have so much to give, and so much money to spend. I would hate to see several of our charity shops having to close through lack of funds. They are all needed but rents have to be paid along with their other bills before there is any profit. I just hope we can all survive.

Annemeid what do you mean by the statement "NOBODY CARES". IT HAS TAKEN YOU 2 DAYS TO THINK UP THAT REPLY. SURELY YOU COULD PUT FORWARD A BETTER ARGUMENT THAN THAT. ALL THE VOLUNTEERS CARE ENOUGH TO GIVE THEIR FREE TIME TO HELP OUT AT THESE CHARITY SHOPS. I AM NOT AGAINST IMPACT CHARITY AND I HOPE IT WORKS OUT FOR THEM, I WAS JUST VOICING MY CONCERNS.

We are in the final stages of getting the licence to open approved. All fees are now paid it is now down to the council to approve our aplocation.
We should find out next week.
This shop is to concentrate on EMAUS , Caritas , Food for the needy La Marina / San Fulgencio.
We are asking for donations of bric-a-brac , clothes , books and furniture (can be picked up).
By opening this shop it means we can donate more to the groups we donate too on a regular basis.
If anyone would like to drop of any donations there will be volunteers at the shop tomorrow 10am - 1pm and Tuesday 10am - 3pm. Even if it's just a quick visit to find out more then please pop by.
There is a manager in place, we are looking for 4 more volunteers.

Thank you.
