Shop with us

Break operates a very successful chain of retail outlets that have an annual turnover of over £2.3million.
 
Our shop units are mostly based in market town locations where we gain a high level of support from local communities, both with regard to volunteer helpers and the donated goods that stock our shelves.
 
The profits from our retail operation go directly to supporting our services.
 
We have 41 charity shops across East Anglia and the West Country including a Vintage shop in Banham, Norfolk. Each unit is run by an experienced retail Manager, supported by a dedicated team of volunteers who help to keep the doors open and the shelves stacked six days a week!
 
Our shops only sell donated items and are reliant wholly on the goodwill of the general public - whose generosity is quite outstanding! 

All the goods received have to be checked for safety and quality before being offered for sale; and any textile items deemed to be 'unsaleable' are sold to a specialist merchant to maximise our income.
 
We often send items of potentially high value to local auction houses and recently sold four first editions of C S Lewis books at Wotton Auction Rooms for a staggering £2,600.  We have also set up our own facility to sell quality items on eBay.
