PDSA

Found some great Scottish Rugby tops here for next to nothing!!!

Charity begins at home, or so they say, and not more so than with us humans and our beloved pets. I have a 2 year old Yorkshire Terrier called Ollie and make no mistake, he is the King of the Castle. What he wants, he gets, and he’s taken after his old Ma’ here when it comes to those puppy dog eyes. He was really ill as a young puppy and the treatments help and care by our neighbourhood vet really was invaluable to him. Thankfully we could afford to pay for the über-​expensive treatments but I dread to think what happens to those poor animals if they belong to less wealthy families.
This charity shop, handily placed on the Royal Mile, is where you can help make a difference. Hand in your old clothes, books, bric a brac or whatever you think would sell and help those who can’t help themselves. I actually picked up a few great books from in here last week for about 50p each, totally bargainous considering you usually read something once then stick it in a cupboard.
Help out and give a little, your contribution, whether giving or buying from this shop, will make all the difference to Pets in need of Vets.

As far as charity shops go, this one has to really up the ante since it’s situated right on the Royal Mile!
It is thus very well ordered, has acquired a lot of stock, and is heaving with clothes. Everything in here is pressed to perfection and it seems to collect some high end donations from kind customers.
I always get excited visiting this branch of P.D.S.A because they have a knitting corner full of old 60s pattern books, not to mention an entire section dedicated to vintage! They have some amazing jumpers and vinyl in this section and one of the railings is dedicated to clothing made in the UK.
Prices for jumpers are through the roof considering they were likely given out the kindness of someone’s heart — they are using the Urban Outfitters model of labelling, so you could spend up to £25 for a jumper out of here. But unlike Urban Outfitters, the money is going to help cats, rather than straight into the hands of gleeful fat cats. So it’s gotta be worth it. Besides, people are less likely to be wearing something you’d find out of this PDSA than mass produced — sorry, «re produced» stuff out of the high street leeches.
A store worth visiting, I admire their style!

This is a small, cluttered charity shop in a very central location.
I feel bad for the PDSA as the shop is always rather empty of people and overflowing with ‘junk’.
Some better floor planning is in order.
