Charity shop
Re-opening soon!
28 May 2020 – Following the latest guidance of the UK government, we are preparing our charity shop to ensure the government’s 5 tests are met and we follow the COVID-19 secure guidelines. Your health and ours remain a prime priority, and we are very much looking to seeing you again soon!
We ask our generous donors to not leave any bags outside the shop, as they won’t be collected until the re-opening of the shop.

Join our team
The shop is run by a team of volunteers. Many of them are coming for 3 to 6 months from continental Europe to get an experience in a charity in the UK. They can improve their English, and gain experience in customer service, logistics, merchandising and much more.
I have worked at Children of the Mekong for five months, and I can confirm that it has been the best professional experience of my life. I had the chance to work every day with a wonderful team, with who it was very easy to work and who always put you in a good mood. Thanks to them, it was a real pleasure to go to work every morning. During my internship at Children of the Mekong, I also had the opportunity to learn a lot and grow all my skills. I know I will always remember these five months in London, as magical as I could ever imagine.
