Nicola has been shopping, and making donations, to Renewal for the last six months. She found the store one day when she was early for a GP appointment, so went for a walk and stumbled upon the shop on Shaw Heath. She has this to say about Renewal North West:
“Renewal is run as a charity should be: great turnover of stock, fair prices, friendly staff and customers, and I can even have a brew in the coffee shop!
I don’t particularly like Internet shopping as I (and many others) enjoy the social interaction. Since becoming quite a ‘regular’ I have got to know people enough to have a chat, which is great for mental health well-being, and grab a bargain or two.
No matter what religion, etc., you are Renewal has a warm welcome for everyone and most definitely represents ‘community’. I genuinely can’t praise the charity enough. Thank you!”
2025: A Year Of Standing In The Gap
2025 saw record high unemployment and financial hardship. Renewal was there to meet people’s need through low-cost goods & employment skills.
