Mary Queen of Shops

Mary Portas has been working with Save the Children helping to revamp and revitalise our charity shop in Orpington, Kent. The highs and lows of the journey can be seen on the 'Mary Queen of Charity Shops' series which started on Tuesday 2 June, and continues on BBC Two at 9 pm on 9 and 16 June.

In the first hour the Westfield shop has taken nearly £4,000 - an amazing first hour's takings and double the amount the Orpington shop takes in a week.
 
The shop is open from today until Saturday 27 June and is full of amazing clothes, many of which were sourced by the fashion team at Grazia from their designer friends.

If you can't get to Wesfield then please donate your good quality items to your local Save the Children store or give some time and volunteer with us.
