00:00So Jane, the first thing you notice when you walk in here, it's a lot different from other
00:04charity shops.
00:05Yeah, that's right.
00:06That's right.
00:07As you can see, it's a very carefully curated mixture of vintage, nearly new, brand new
00:15with tags, some high street and some very beautiful high end pieces as well.
00:23We want to encourage people to shop sustainably, to reuse where possible and we've curated
00:32different looks here to give you an opportunity to think differently, to think a little bit
00:36outside the box for what glamour dressing can be and it doesn't cost the earth.
00:44So you've been open for just a few days now.
00:46We're here on the Lisburn Road.
00:48How's the reaction been from the local shoppers?
00:50It's been incredible.
00:53We've been welcomed with open arms.
00:55People have been so excited for the opening coming this week.
01:01We've had a fabulous window display done and people have just been coming to the door
01:05saying absolutely wow, we love it.
01:08A lot of very happy shoppers this week.
01:10And in store as well, I've noticed a lot of big designer names at really good prices.
01:16Yeah and we are only as strong as our donors and the stock that we receive to process.
01:24We look after it, we get it cleaned, we try to price fairly and accurately but it's really
01:30down to the community getting behind us and donating that one little thing that's in the
01:36back of your wardrobe that you know you're not going to wear and helping us raise some
01:41vital funds for a wonderful cause.
01:44Just remind us very quickly about the work of Concern.
01:46Okay so Concern work on the ground, 26 different countries supporting 30.3 million people who
01:55are facing food insecurity, living in war areas and we can get aid to NGOs on the ground
02:03and I think you'll agree right now it's a really worthwhile cause to be behind.
02:09And just to finish on, if anybody out there is thinking about volunteering, can they offer
02:13their time to you?
02:14Oh absolutely, I would be delighted.
02:16This cannot be a one woman show, so if you've got a couple of hours to spare, a morning,
02:23an afternoon, if you can go and do a collection for us, if you can run a little fundraiser
02:28at home, even if you can just drop off a few pre-loved items, you can support us in so
02:32many ways.
