Hello my name is Johnny Leach..

I am now retired at this moment in time, but work part time as an joint manager at the Barnardo's shop in Northampton. Below is a photograph taken showing some the voluntary staff who man the shop. If you ever have some unwanted goods, brick-a-brak, clothes, videos or even a donation please drop in, or come and brows the items we have for sale. All money goes to Barnardo's for the work they do helping the children of today. Some good news, the Barnardo's shops have raised £1,500.000 in this financial year.
