A charity shop in Gorseinon, Swansea, is appealing to the public to refrain from donating sex toys after a recent influx of x-rated items. The shop, which is part of the children’s charity Barnardo’s, took to social media to remind donors of its primary focus. The post humorously mentioned that the shop has a “range of ages” on its volunteer team due to the nature of the donations. To ensure privacy, the shop emphasized that it has CCTV in place to trace the origins of these items. Apart from sex toys, the Barnardo’s branch also listed other items it cannot accept, such as car booster seats, mattresses, electric blankets, and white goods like washing machines or fridge freezers. A spokesperson for Barnardo’s expressed gratitude for community donations but clarified that these particular items are not suitable for their cause. The article concludes with a reminder of the charity’s important work, including providing essential items like food and clothing to struggling children and families in Wales. It urges readers to donate clothing and children’s toys to their local Barnardo’s store, as the funds raised from their shops support this crucial mission.
