There is one down near the docks. Its the next street up towards shop st. Sorry can't remember the name of the road but it could be Middle St.

There are a few - I think I remember where most are
SV de P, down near the docks
St Augustine St I think, top end - an animal shelter benefit one (can't remember name).
Enable Ireland on Shop Street
Abbeygate St - Concern? Not sure, but one there
Sea Road / Small crane one shop on corner, not charity shop any more but 2nd hand, and a Simon shop further up past Ernie's on the right.


Euro shop is awash with accessories too.

Just for the record Oxfam on Abbeygate street is not a 2nd-hand/charity shop.

Oxfam is not what I meant...
It is on the other end of Abbeygate St, near the music shop I believe.

To be clear, I mean the big one, near the tattoo place (not the Simon, further down)...maybe it isn't Sea Road, but it is on the corner there...anyway, that one *used* to be GB, but I was told by a costume person that it is now owned and operated by a woman just as a 2nd hand shop. I think she still takes donations tho..
I didn't know this until recently!

Docks - Merchants Rd - SV de P
St Augustine St top end - SPCA (clothing Mon-Fri, furniture two days per week only, can't remember which, one is Friday)
Enable Ireland - Shop Street
Abbeygate St - down near Sally Longs - Age Concern
Sea Rd - further up past Ernie's on the right - Simon shop
Sea Road a bit down from the Small Crane and on the opposite side - not a charity shop any more but 2nd hand

Non profit:
Abbeygate St - Oxfam
Middle St - Amnesty International
I suspect there may be others, but can't think of 'em now.
