Household giveaway

Household goods are the current 'special' in the shop and the window. In china, glass, linen and a host of other ranges, you can get three items for the price of two. This offer lasts until the end of our week's trading on Saturday September 18th, so don't delay, get down to Queen Street and snap up those bargains before someone else does.

We're continuing to highlight various ranges of goods with features and special offers. Exactly what these specials are and when they're taking place is something we're keeping up our sleeve. So to find out what the latest shop attraction is, watch this website - and the window.

"the best in Mansfield"

"The best charity shop in Mansfield." That's the opinion expressed by a growing number of our customers - and we're cetainly not going to disagree! We are fortunate in the quality and quantity of goods that are donated to us, and we're very grateful for them. This enables us to be selective in what we offer, not only choosing carefully from our extensive back-up stock according to the current feature, but also making sure that only merchandise of good quality reaches our shelves and racks.

Donating goods? Here's How

Many thanks to all the people who continue to donate a stream of goods to this good cause. If you have any surplus items that you would like to donate, there are several ways you can get them to us.

First, you could bring them to the charity shop situated at 18 Queen Street, Mansfield. In this case a couple of requests: please bring no more than two or three parcels, carriable by one person. The problem is that any greater bulk clogs up our limited sorting system on the shop premises. Also you should know that anything left outside the shop when it's closed will be taken away by the council for disposal.

If Ravenshead is more convenient, you can leave donated goods for our collection at Godfrey's DIY shop in the Milton Court shopping precinct.

If you have a larger quantity of stuff to unload, we are able to offer a collection service within Ravenshead. Please contact the manager, Sharon Baum, 01623 656133, and she will arrange for a volunteer to come and collect from you.

What are we looking for?

Clothing including shoes and bags; household items - curtains, linen etc; books, CDs, DVDs, records etc; jewellery; toys and games. We can also take fabrics and old clothing for recycling. Please note we are very sorry but, we are unable to handle items of furniture.

Since the introduction of our PAT testing facility in 2009, we welcome the following electrical goods: CD players/audio equipment, hairdryers/curlers etc, irons, kettles, toasters, steamers, cooking equipment, etc, power tools, computer games, lamps and small items that require a plug. WE CANNOT ACCEPT electric blankets and heating pads, microwaves, any appliance that needs to be wired to the mains, sunbeds, health lamps, lawn mowers, strimmers, televisions, computer towers/monitors or Christmas tree lights.

DON'T FORGET - WE TAKE CLOTHES, FOOTWEAR AND FABRICS THAT ARE UNUSABLE. THEY HAVE A VALUE TO US AS SALEABLE RAGS.

market force

On the second Tuesday of each month during the summer you can see us in Mansfield's Market Square with a stall offering some amazing bargains from our household range. We build up a stock of china, glass, books and other useful bric-a-brac that's ideal for clearance at below-shop prices. Come and have a look.

Cornwater Ebay

A recent innovation is ravenshead.blog.co.uk which, among other things, includes information on what's available from the shop on Ebay. The blog is run by Barbara McLullich who helps us operate our Ebay sales and it shows an updated list of the items we have diverted to that specialist market. Just type in Cornwater Club to your search provider and it should come up among several entries.
