Charity Bookshop

Bookshop handover

The Working Together Charity Bookshop is located in the south Shropshire market town of Craven Arms.

The shop stocks a wide range of books, including fiction, non-fiction, children’s, local history, reference, rare and antiquarian books – as well as jigsaws, CDs, DVDs, records, sheet music, maps and local tourist guides.

About the bookshop

The Bookshop, which was previously run by the Furniture Scheme, transferred to Working Together in September 2021 with the intention of not only providing a valuable income stream for the charity, but also an opportunity for our members to be involved in some of the sorting and cataloguing of donations and, in the longer term, some opportunities for supported volunteering/work experience in the shop itself, together with a welcoming destination for travel training and independent living skills.

The bookshop is run by a dedicated team of volunteers who manage the day to day running of the site, including book sales and donations.

Donations

If you would like to donate any good quality books, please drop them in to us, either at the shop or at Rockspring Community Centre, Ludlow.

Every book donated is carefully valued by our resident expert volunteers and saleable books go into the Charity Bookshop. Old and out of print books are particularly sought after by our customers.

What happens to the books we aren’t able to sell?

Some of the unsold, but high-quality books, will be kept at Rockspring where we will be setting up a lending library for our members to use. We are considering having a second hand book stall at various local events, including the Ludlow Medieval Christmas Fayre and Tinsel Tuesdays.

We have partnered with a company that collects books that charities aren’t able to sell and finds alternative outlets for them. This will prevent the destruction of perfectly good books, help support Working Together and prevent books from going into landfill.
