The Charity Corner: Mt Roskill's wide-ranging op shop for a specific cause

The Charity Corner sits right on the corner of Richardson Road and Dominion Road in Mt Roskill, and it's worth knowing exactly who it supports: proceeds go toward ME Respite, an organisation supporting people living with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia — conditions that get far less charity-sector attention than most.

The range here is broader than a typical op shop. Alongside clothing and bric-a-brac, expect household goods, electrical items, games, books, craft supplies and haberdashery, plus furniture — genuinely useful if you're furnishing a first flat or hunting something specific rather than just browsing clothes.

Open Monday to Friday 9am to 4:30pm and Saturday 10am to 3pm. If the cause resonates — or you just want a wider browse than most charity shops offer — it's worth the detour to Mt Roskill.
