The reopening of No 31

Our team will be in the shop getting prepared from the 1st July and we will be able to arrange time slots for people to drop off donations after that date. To arrange a drop off please email us on info@yorksbtc.org.uk.

Please note that owing to restrictions on the quarantining of donations, we have very limited space which means we may be limited in what we can take for the next couple of months. 

We will be opening with reduced days and hours and will only be offering take-away coffee and cake to ensure social distancing is able to be followed.

We will have new measures in place to keep our staff, volunteers and customers safe including:

• additional cleaning procedures
• installation of protective screens at the till
• more regular handwashing
• use of gloves for sorting donations by our team
• installation of new hand sanitiser points
• a procedure for all donations to be quarantined for 72hrs before being put out for sale
• encouraging the use of contactless card payments instead of cash
• installation of floor markers to maintain social distancing
• limiting the number of customers in our shop - if it is busy we may ask people to queue outside for a short while.

For our staff and volunteers who are vulnerable and currently shielding, we will not be asking them to work in our shops at present.

We can't wait to welcome you back!
