31 May, 2021 01:00 Brendan McKernan, chair of St Vincent de Paul s regional retail committee, with volunteer of the quarter Geraldine O Donnell modelling fashion from the charity s shop on Belfast s Antrim Road EVERYTHING from a needle to an anchor. That used to be the boast of old fashioned hardware shops, which carried all manner of goods long before shops specialised.
St Vincent de Paul is a bit like that - maybe not a needle nor an anchor, but a lot else.
It s a great relief that charity shops are open again. People depend on them for giving items that are no longer wanted or, more importantly, to buying items that are necessary but the budget is limited.
