HELPING people in need was the inspiration behind the opening of Hidden Treasure, a charity shop at Salamanca Centre in Westville.
Hidden Treasure is a charity shop that sells previously loved goods in aid of community development both locally and around the world as it forms part of a national chain of charity shops which were started through the Baptist Women’s Department.

At the shop, people can get previously loved good, everything from furniture, antiques, clothing, books, toys, jewellery, appliances, kitchen items and much more.
