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!”
“Renewal Opened Up The Door To Employment.”
In the Autumn of 2025, Community Appliances welcomed a special guest: Kieran, a 19-year-old student completing a 3-month placement. He describes finishing his placement as a victory that has opened the door to employment.
