An Oxfordshire based charity is opening a new shop in Botley this Thursday (July 25).

The shop will be selling a wide range of pre-loved items, including ladies, men’s and children’s clothes and accessories, books, toys, and bric-a-brac.

ACACIA charity shops have been a feature of the South Oxfordshire retail landscape for many years with shops in Abingdon, Faringdon, Wootton and Grove, raising hundreds of thousands of pounds over the years to fund education projects in Africa.

ACACIA is the trading subsidiary of Oxfordshire charity Rafiki Thabo Foundation.

The money raised through ACACIA’s charity shops goes towards supporting children in Kenya, Uganda and Lesotho – including those living with disabilities – to fulfil their potential through education.

Janet Hayes, director of Rafiki Thabo Foundation, said: "We are so excited to be opening our fifth ACACIA charity shop, this time in the lovely town of Botley.

"Charity shopping is becoming increasingly popular as we all become more aware of the need to shop sustainably.

"The Botley community lost their beloved charity shops during the redevelopment of West Way Square, some six years ago and there is a real buzz in the town with the prospect of it returning."

The shop will be situated on Church Way and will be open 9am until 5pm Mondays to Saturdays.
