U-turn Thrift Shop

U-turn Thrift Shop in Durbanville is a charity shop that sells new and second-hand clothing, bedding, homeware and jewellery. It is one of 15 retail stores run by the U-turn group, which works with people experiencing homelessness.

The group says its social enterprises offer work opportunities and skills development training, and that participants are prepared for the open labour market, with some going on to permanent roles within the organisation. The group has operated for more than 25 years and runs a skills-based programme designed by a team that includes social workers, occupational therapists and life coaches.

The shop is at 34 Wellington Road in Durbanville, and it suits shoppers who want to support a social enterprise while buying clothing and homeware.
