Shetland Aid Trust

About

We receive good quality clothing and other donated goods from folk from all over Shetland. Volunteers work in our huge storage unit ('the Shed') in Lerwick to sort these donations into male and and to load these in labelled bags into our trailer that is based at the Shed. The trailer takes these clothes and other donated goods to be distributed by Blythswood. Other clothing and donated goods are sold in our pop-up shops held in Lerwick two or three times per year. These gifts, and money the shops make, provide us with funds we are able to give to charities which do so much good work on our behalf. We also support the Blythswood charity Shoebox campaign each year and we give financial support to the Hiding Place Orphanage and financial help to several charities doing excellent work in Ukraine and other areas as we become aware of these needy situations
