Best charity shops in Swansea area?

4 replies

I want to change my shopping habits as one of my resolutions for 2019, and would like to try some charity shops. I don't have a lot of time to try them all out so I'm wondering if anyone knows the best ones in Swansea area but can travel to Llanelli and Neath if needed.

I'm looking mostly for:
Clothes for myself (mostly because I'm fed up of the decline of quality clothes around in shops so hoping I can pick up better choices second hand??)
Clothes for my son (nearly 2)
Toys
The odd thing for the house (ornaments, pictures, etc)

I'm part of the FB selling pages but if I'm honest, a lot aren't for my taste for DS (slogan tops, garish colours, etc). I prefer stripes, plain tops, etc. Or the pages sell a lot of baby items that we've already got (expecting second and final baby).

Are there any stand out for good quality clothes for myself and children?

There are a few in Newton Rd, Mumbles. As it's a more affluent area, they tend to get better things there.
Then there are some on the Kingsway, including two furniture shops, in town.

Neath has lots of charity shops. The Shaw Trust one, opposite Morrisons, is large and seems well-stocked.

There's a cancer research one in Neath and (I think) a BHF one.

The llys nini ones in Gorseinon and Mumbles are good, as is the cats protection one in Mumbles. Barnados in Gorseinon has lovely women's clothes.
