Simon Shop

The Midlands Simon Shop is stocked with quality goods that can be reused and needs giving in this way to be a more regular occurrence to ensure stock rotation. Remember, not only are you getting value for money when you shop in Midlands Simon Charity Shop, but the money you spend goes directly to Midlands Simon Community Services, so we can continue our work with people experiencing homelessness in the Midlands.

Opening Hours: Monday - Saturday 10am – 5:30pm

Donors and supporters are able to help the people we work with everyday by donating and helping us raise money - feel good while you de-clutter your life! Midlands Simon Community gains both stock and the chance to take our message to a new audience, while being good to the environment!  Plus, you also get to shop at recession busting prices for that something different.
