  Never thought I would love retail shop work as much as I do after working in factories and wholesale over 40 years.. I was made redundant early 2020 and found the A World and given the opportunity as a volunteer in one of our local stores.. thanks to my hard work and commitment I was asked to cover many other stores which I really enjoyed and was then offered my own store local to me.. I really love my new career in retail and have the full backing from the directors and area manager.. the A World CiC are working hard to fund our local autistic community in many areas with lots of activities and funded holiday breaks for the families.. With the help from all our fantastic local customers/community with there generous donations we can build a better place together..check us out on Facebook for all of our funded outings and adventures.. donations great fully accepted in all stores and we also offer free collections from most area’s… we have stores from Salford..Swinton..Eccles..
