23.01.2022 It is with mixed emotions that we write this post today. After a lot of committee discussion and many many heart vs head conversations, Reason to Thrive has decided not to reopen our Thrift and Thrive Cafe in Kenmore in 2020. The exciting news is that the demand for our Equine Assisted Learning programs is growing however being such a small charity, this means we are simply unable to dedicate the time needed to run the cafe as it should be. Our priority has to remain wit...h what we do best, delivering life changing EAL programs to those at disadvantage in the community and beyond. A huge thank you to our beautiful dedicated volunteers who worked tirelessly this year, we have had a lot of laughs and could not have done it without your generosity. Never fear, we treasure our vollies who are the backbone of not for profits and we can offer other ways to help RTT next year, you dont get away that easily. We would like to say a heartfelt thanks to @Inna Kogan's Music School. Inna and Misha have been wonderful landlords and we are very appreciative of the opportunity they extended to us in 2019. We wish them well next year and beyond. Finally to all the lovely customers, particularly our local regulars who have frequented the shop and donated, we have met some wonderful people and we cant thank you enough. We sincerely hope that you will continue to follow @Reason to Thrive and support the charity. Our last day of trading is next Friday 13th December so pop in during the week and grab some bargains! Everything must go. We are delighted that we could send some of our great clothes out to fire and drought ravished areas with a load going out this week so be assured, all donated goods will find worthy homes. Merry Christmas from us all and we hope to see you during the week for a final coffee and some Christmas cheer. With sincere thanks The Thrift and Thrive Team xx

06.01.2022 Sadly our shop will be closed for the rest of the week (until Saturday) due to unavailability of our wonderful volunteers. Some are moving, some are working, some are in hospital.....its that thing called life just happens from time to time. We are very aware that it is disappointing and there are none more disappointed than the committee of Reason to Thrive. We are all volunteers too and we know how hard we have worked to get this wonderful little shop off to a strong sta...rt however we simply can not run it without volunteers. The situation is now critical, we NEED volunteers who are able to commit to either one shift a week or to go on a relief roster that can be called upon if required. The shop is not only RTT's "home", it is also a great community hub with the park, the music school and the hairdressers. As well as providing great coffee and bargains galore in the shop, we also provide a safe and nurturing environment for young people and people living with various challenges, to come and volunteer in a non judgemental and caring environment amongst friends. Without the help of YOU, our community, we simply can not keep the doors of our special little shop open. We are hoping that there will be a few kind spirited souls out there who will put their hands up and help us out. Please either PM us or give me a call on 0437 939 537. If I don't answer immediately, please leave me a message and I will return your call. Thank you in anticipation!
