Ruksak’s Friendship Café and Ruksak Plus Charity Shop are open to the public and separated from the main facility. Both of these enterprises support the main work of the charity. All funds raised go directly to supporting the needs of the people we serve.
Ruksak Plus: Quality items of clothing, or general items of interest or curiosity are offered for sale at very reasonable prices. We have an excellent range of fiction and non-fiction books, including group sets of play scripts and class sets of traditional school texts. We also stock a range of prom dresses we can offer at incredibly low prices for young people who need something special for prom night, but who might struggle to pay unaffordable prices for new formalwear. We don’t currently have any changing room facilities at the moment, sorry.
Friendship Café: You can take a rest from shopping at our Friendship Café where we can offer you a ‘free’ cup of tea or coffee. This is how it works; You get as free cup of coffee or tea with your first visit, just as long as you make a donation for the next person to enjoy their drink for free. We have a minimum suggested donation of £1, but you can be as generous as you wish. You can pass on your goodwill to the next person and know your contribution has given something to an unknown friend as well as helping the charity.
