At our Charity Shop - Gilgal Birmingham

Thrifting fun for a good cause

The Gilgal Charity Shop, located on Bristol Road South, is a haven for all preloved fashion lovers, with a wide range of high-quality men’s, women’s, and children’s clothes, plus accessories, homeware, toys, and games.

A charity shop window displays a variety of clothing items, including baby onesies, shirts, and a green "7UP" t-shirt. There are also books and a framed picture of the Golden Gate Bridge visible in the display. The shop sign reads "Gilgal Charity Shop" and indicates its location in Birmingham.

Helping to change lives

All the money raised in our Charity Shop goes towards supporting women and children experiencing domestic abuse – from helping provide and furnish our two refuge buildings, to offering support from qualified advisors in the wider community.

Our Charity Shop also gives us a platform to raise awareness of domestic abuse, and to reach more women who may be in need of our services.
