Christian Community Ministries has a small charity shop on Runcorn Road in Barnton which helps raise vital funds by selling a wide range of quality donated goods.
Our Charity Shop relies on the support of the local community who donate their unwanted goods, pay regular visits to the shop as customers and some volunteer their time to help run the shop. |
