A couple of years ago or so, St. Christopher's lease ran out. they were put in a position to (a) find an alternative premise in a good position or (b) accept the new lease at greatly inflated price. I believe that price quoted was £50.000 pa. ED is one of the more profitable shops due mainly to the demographic make up of the area. There is a paid manager (might even be 2). Rest are volunteers who cover the 7 days that the shop is open. I am informed that the St. Christopher's shop in Lewisham High Street is much cheaper as is Penge. The majority of the Hospice's funding comes from these charity shops/fund raising events etc. Even more so now that the government has put additional NI contributions onto all health providers. A relative of ours works in a hospice shop in Dartford having recently been appointed manager. When she first started she noticed that volunteers were regularly been asked by customers to reduce costs of items. One had asked that a £3. item be reduced to 50p ! There are 'dealers' that go around charity shops trying to get items at a reduced rate and then selling them at inflated prices at car boot sales. -
OK. I will try RSPCA again. And write to the Council. It’s difficult to intervene with a dog on private property. @beansprout - Rolling your eyes at people who are aware of a problem and trying to figure out what to do about it is not very helpful. You can of course phone the vet, council, rspca yourself if you think you can sort it. -
