The shop is full of treasures – complete vintage tea sets, clocks, china dolls and even collectables like Scalextric.

"There's £1,000 worth of keyboards, artwork – we've taken some to auction.

"Some Chinese bamboo prints that fetched about £800. People might not have known what they've thrown out" explained Mr Thompson.

Just upstairs in the warehouse was an area full of electricals that were being fixed – including a large hoard of vacuums.

He said: "We've got our own in-house engineering department that deal with those."

Charity KFR picks up second-hand furniture and appliances already, giving to those who need them or selling at low cost, but these come from donor's homes or house clearances.

Electricals are gone through and tested, with some fixed up, such as a large hoard of vacuums
