“My sister and I would like to say a huge, huge thanks to your team for the superb job they did last Friday. Many thanks too for arranging the date so quickly, and also for sorting everything out so smoothly. It really meant more than words can say and we live so far away. I would not hesitate to recommend you or use your service again.”
Call Yvette Prior on 01604 636736 to arrange an appointment.
Diana Da Silva was the manager of our shop in Brackley for over 11 years and in that time she has built a wonderful team of volunteers and made the shop the success it is today. Sadly, Diana has had to leave us to move away because of her husband’s job.
I know I can speak on Diana’s behalf that she loved working for
Age UK Northamptonshire. She thrived on the challenge of running
a busy shop, sorting donations, and ensuring merchandise was beautifully displayed. She loved chatting to customers especially getting to know her regular customers. Staff and volunteers past and present went out for a farewell meal with her, to wish her all the best for the future.
If you would like to do more crafting for us, we would welcome anything that we could sell in our shops, knitted or crocheted poppies for Remembrance Day, pumpkins for Halloween, daffodils or bunnies for Easter, the list is endless.
You can pop anything you have into one of our shops or drop them off to The William and Patricia Venton Centre in Northampton.
