Age UK A Pillar of the Oakham High Street Community
The Age UK Leicester Shire & Rutland shop on Oakham High Street is more than just a place to find a bargain; it is a vital lifeline for the local community. While many still affectionately refer to the national movement as "Age Concern," the local branch operates under the Age UK banner, providing essential funding for services that support older residents across the region.
Located at 10 High Street, the Oakham shop is known for its bright, welcoming atmosphere and curated selection of pre-loved items. Whether you are a dedicated thrifter or just passing through, the store offers a wide variety of goods:
Quality clothing for men, women, and children.
A rotating stock of books, toys, media, and bric-a-brac.
Handbags, shoes, and jewelry to complete any outfit.
The shop is entirely step-free, ensuring that all members of the community can browse comfortably.
Every purchase made and every bag donated directly impacts the lives of older people in Leicester, Leicestershire, and Rutland. The funds raised through the High Street store help facilitate over 30 local services, including:
Information & Advice, confidential guidance on benefits and later-life planning.
Social Groups: Local "Coffee and Chat" sessions and "Men and Women in Sheds" projects.
Home Care & Wellbeing, support designed to help people maintain their independence at home.
The Oakham branch thrives on the generosity of local residents. You can support them in several ways:
Donate Goods, Clean, high-quality items are always welcome.
If you are a UK taxpayer, remember to ask about Gift Aid, which adds 25% to the value of your donation at no extra cost to you.
