How can you help?
We know volunteering makes the world a brighter place but why bother? From gardening to working in our Charity Shops; there are many opportunities. Volunteering can be a great social network and you can meet people from a diverse range of backgrounds and often make really solid friendships.
Our charity shops
Whether you're after quirky one-offs, cutting edge fashion, or simply good quality high street clothes and accessories, our charity shops are the place to go. We also stock greeting cards, soft furnishings, gifts and toys. We get end of line and ex-sale stock from designers and high street chains.

Young people and children, Involving the community
Thanks to a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund, the Octavia Foundation has given 8 young west Londoners the opportunity to document the history of their local area in a film that traces the evolution of Ladbroke Grove from the 1958 race riots to the present day.
