We have this amazing charity in Aberdeen called "Somebody Cares". It's basically a huge warehouse where people can drop off things they no longer need - sofas, furniture, clothes, toys etc.
People who really need help can be referred by their social worker or health visitor and then can go and help themselves to anything they need. Once a month, to pay the bills, the charity opens the warehouse to the public as a sale. You can pick up the most brilliant bargains and help the charity at the same time!

Nice, eh? Custom shelves for my little girl's room for a total cost of under a tenner!
