We Are Open!

Ellen Hawes

We re-opened on 1st June 2020. Our current opening hours are now 9.30am to 3pm Monday to Saturday and 12 to 3pm on Sundays.

Things will be slightly different when you visit us, please phone to book in advance and when you come to the shop press the bell outside, we will then open the door.

All customers will need to sanitise their hands before they use our equipment and they will not be able to bring shopping back for us to store.

We will be implementing several safety measures for both our staff and customers, including a strict limit to the number of customers in the shop at any one time, as well as rigorous and regular cleaning of all the vehicles and areas within the shops.

Please adhere to the social distancing rules when you visit us to protect yourself and others.

We look forward to seeing you all soon.

2020 Pancake Race!

Ellen Hawes

Thank you to all 12 teams that took part in our annual Pancake Race in the Eden Shopping Centre on Shrove Tuesday 25th February. We were delighted to raise £190 from entrance fees and would like to say a very grateful thank you for the kind donations made by Intel and the High Wycombe Beekeepers. This brings the total raised to well over £300. After a bit of controversy, we are pleased to award the David Griffin trophy to the 2020 winners – Eden Security!

We were really grateful for the support we received for our Town Centre and Eden Centre Collections at the end of July. A large number of our customers and volunteers gave up some of their time to raise funds for our charity. Our town centre collection raised £142 and our Eden Centre collection raised £384 – every penny will help run our service – thank you!
