Friday Mornings

At CARESCO our Fridays are different from the rest of the week. There are no day care projects running and the main room is taken over by the Nearly New shop and the Coffee Shop which are open 9 - 11.30am term time (9.45 - 11.30am during school holidays).

Nearly New

Open Friday mornings (term time only), the Nearly New provides a local second-hand shop for the community. Items can either be sold on behalf of a customer, with a proportion of the price going to CARESCO, otherwise items can be donated to CARESCO and sold to raise funds to help further the work.

Coffee Shop

Running alongside the Nearly New is the Coffee Shop. This was started as a fundraiser when the building fund was begun but quickly became an important part of village life. Providing a place where people can meet for coffee and cake, the Coffee Shop has a wide range of customers including mums & toddlers and older people. Staffed by volunteer waitresses, all funds raised go towards the running costs of the charity.
