Our Shops are a treasure trove of bargains of all kinds – clothing, accessories, home wares, books, CDs and DVDs, furniture, sporting goods and more. You really never know what you will find on your next visit to Vinnies.

Vinnies Shops are run by dedicated volunteers and employees. As well as offering value for money prices on a range of pre-loved goods, they also directly assist people experiencing disadvantage through the donation of furniture, clothing and household goods.

Profits from the sale of goods stay in the local community, going directly towards funding our services and programs – every year we assist around 300,000 people experiencing disadvantage and homelessness in NSW.

We sell pre-loved goods generously donated by our local community in-store and online. With new arrivals every day, there’s always something new to discover.

GYBS opened our first charity store Village People in March 2020 and since then, the shop has welcomed so many happy shoppers who have all walked away with bargains.

If you have any of these items that you would like to donate, make sure you come and visit the Village People Shop.
