Hear from some of our staff…
Working at Blythswood is so rewarding. The work we are doing contributes to humanitarian needs around the world. Projects like our Shoe Box Appeal bring so much joy to others, it’s a huge part of why I love my job.

The donations we receive are astounding. You can have an item in your hand and stop and think about its journey and how it will receive a second life. The revenue will then go to help another person and change their lives. It’s a privilege to be involved.
