Second Hand Shop

The Penguin Kidz Charity Shop is in the Village Centre, Betty’s Bay and it’s well signposted for anyone wishing to bring a donation of goods or to browse and buy.

Everything for sale is donated by supporters of our school from books to coffee mugs, from clothes to furniture. The flow of donations from local residents who want to see the school go from strength to strength makes it possible for the shop to continue.

It's for the kids!!

Everyone who works at the shop is a volunteer. It is expertly managed by Gloria Lange and Sandra Taljaard, both Pikkewyntjies stalwart supporters and it is run by a team of 10 ladies who are likewise all volunteers, giving their time to help the school. From Tuesday to Saturday they offer a warm welcome to visitors to this intriguing little shop with its wide variety of goods at bargain prices.

An endearing feature of Gloria and Sandra’s management style is to pass on items that don’t sell at the shop to other charities in our area where they will make someone’s life better.

The shop is a vital source of funding for the Pikkewyntjies Pre-Primary School relying on the income it generates to pay the salaries of two teachers. In addition, the shop makes it possible for work to be undertaken at the school when this becomes necessary. For example, proceeds from shop sales paid for the new kitchen (with a gas stove) which has just been built.

Should you have a chance to visit our beautiful coast, do pop in at the Village Centre, just off the R44 and look in at the shop (just not on a Monday, Saturday afternoon or Sunday). The ‘staff’ would enjoy meeting you.
