All Souls Opportunity Shop

“I frequent this shop often to purchase and donate, however from time to time I encounter some unkind and disappointing behaviour from a few volunteers and today I decided it is worth noting. On two occasions (with the same volunteer), I have been spoken to with an underlying tone insinuating I do not understand her, intend to steal or cannot be trusted to peruse. I understand that there are some unfortunate events where people steal from op shops, however, I am not one of them. It is extremely disappointing to be treated this way and hear passing comments to another volunteer such as, “Oh, there are cameras in the store” to bully or make others feel unwelcome. I would like to think this has nothing to do with my appearance or the way I dress. My intention is to raise awareness and use my voice to help represent those who may have been treated this way and are unable to share. Ending on a positive note, items range from $8 and ticketed if deemed more valuable, with 1/2 price sales from time to time. Range is decent with your usual brands, some gems every now and then. It’s the old school feel, bric-a-brac and the few volunteers I see often (Monday and Wednesday mornings I feel most welcome) that make the place worth a visit.”

“Quaint old world place to visit if you are looking for something antiquaited ir THEATRICAL I remember it from years ago when visiting Sandringham. THE CHURCH connected with it is a beauty!”

“asked them to set jeans aside for me while i got cash out (no signs saying they don’t take card), and told them i’d be back later that day. after running an errand and getting cash from an atm on the drive back (not close to my house i will add), they had sold them 👍🏼 was maybe only 4 hours later. nice one guys!”

“Love all of the stuff i have found here great shop!”

“Super awesome ladies that this shop well and always a laugh or good for a chat :D nice selection of kids stuff and clothing.”
