Change your lifestyle habits and save money

At NGC, we’re great believers in buying second hand where possible. It creates less waste and packaging, it means that there’s less need for new stuff, and it saves you money!

You can check the local Freegle  & Freecycle groups or Facebook ‘everything free‘ pages.

Newhaven has some great charity shops including Sense and the SCDA main shop and their children’s shop. And if you need furniture, there’s always Age Concern at Units D1 and E on Ranalah Trade Park, New Road, Newhaven, BN9 0EH.

Any primary school uniform you can get from the Newhaven Uniform bank or the Uniform lady

And there’s always ebay, Music Magpie and World of Books for second hand online shopping.
Music Magpie will even pay you to send them old phones / CDs / laptops too.

Of course, sometimes you have to be buy new – you can’t always find what you need when you need it.
But there’s a huge amount of good quality second hand goods around if you have time to look.
