Kreate: Sheffield charity shop busier than ever after ‘villa’ letter sent

Part of the charity Work Ltd, Kreate – in Hutcliffe Wood Road in Beauchief, provides supported retail experience for people with learning difficulties, teaching them how to carry out tasks such as using a house, stocking a shelf and packing items for sale.

The store began trading in November, with students set to begin training later this month.

Members of a nearby church wrote their own letter of support to store staff, saying they “hope and pray that your business will continue to grow and bless the local community.”

Another local business had left cookies to welcome them to the neighborhood.

“This horrific letter has brought the community together in an incredible way, we couldn’t have had a better presentation,” added Ms Philliskirk.
