Clutterbooks & Clobber
When the residents of Sedbergh have a spring clean - in the kitchen, of the bookshelves, the wardrobe perhaps, they are inevitably left with some perfectly serviceable items that they no longer need. They bundle them up and take them to Clutterbooks & Clobber, Sedbergh's Community Charity Shop, for a possible second life.
When items arrive at the shop they are taken downstairs to be sorted, this is somewhere between an Aladdin's cave and your worst nightmare about the items languishing in your loft. The less saleable items go for recycling - often to other charities and charity shops. Those that make it back up to the sales floor have just four weeks to be bought, after which they too go to be recycled. So there is always something new.
Profits from the shop go to the Sedbergh and District Community Fund which supports activities and projects that benefit the community.
