About Take a Break. By Young People at UK charity Break.
Pop by for a cuppa with Steph to meet a member of the team behind the incredible work happening at Break.
You'll also find two series by our young people, around their experience as young adults leaving the care system.
The Charity Shop Book Expert / Charity Shop Tea Break Episode 1
Charity shops are full of unexpected stories, and nowhere more so than the book corner.
Charity Shop Tea Break takes you to the shop floor where Steph meets people from across Break's services. This week meet Heather, one of our dedicated charity shop volunteers who has become the store’s book expert. From spotting hidden gems among donated books to helping customers discover their next favourite read, she shares what really happens behind the shelves of a busy charity shop.
If you love charity shop finds, second-hand books, and the joy of volunteering, this is a fun glimpse into the world of charity shop book hunting and the people who make these community shops so special.
