Wild Bird Rescue | The Courtyard Craft Centre

Wild Bird Rescue

Dorset’s Best-Kept Bargain Secret.

Since 2022, our cosy little charity shop supporting Wild Bird Rescue Dorset has been run entirely by amazing volunteers. No gimmicks, just pure old-school charity.

Wild Bird Rescue charity shop staff

Jam packed full of beautiful clothes, lovely homewares and quirky knick-knacks. Many items from just 50p! With fresh treasures arriving daily, no two visits are ever the same.

Small? Yes. Packed with bargains? Absolutely. Worth a visit… or three? You bet.

Pop in, bag a bargain, and help support a great cause. 100% of all profits go solely towards supporting our wild birds that need help. Nobody gets paid or takes a wage. Our charity is 100% volunteer-run.
