Left three bags of new clothes for babies plus nappies and wipes, the staff never said thanks... Also said it would be a lot of hassle sorting this stiff out... Will never use again...

This has to be the best charity shop in Ballymena. It looks lovely, the clothes are colour coordinated and they have a great selection of top quality clothes and shoes and bags. It looks like a quality high street shop but the prices are cheaper, I've had some real bargains from here! The staff are friendly and welcoming too.

This shop is trying to be more like a high street retail shop than a charity shop. It is a well organised shop, kept very tidy etc. However the items are way overpriced. This rule of if the item has a price tag, then it is half the marked price?? Well that certainly didn't seem to apply to an item that had a reduced sticker on it. Original price tag was £11.99, the shop priced it at £5.99. However they forgot to remove the sale tag which showed that the item was reduced and purchased at £2 by the donator. Was still being charged £5.99! Preowned T Shirts from Bon Marche £4.99 and £5.99. Yet go next door and buy a brand new one for £7-£8.Brand new handbag donated to the shop from New Look, price tag of £22.99. Pen writing for a reduced price scored out with a black marker. Barnardos trying to sell the item for the price on the tag.Go up the street and a few shops before Wyse Buys is a wee charity shop selling similar items and alot of brand new items for half the price of Barnardos.

If could give less I would assuming that if your non white you would steal from a charity shop after you have already made a purchase just because you don't look like a local.
