Mums into Business Pay a Visit to Attic Sales

Mums Into Business Trip Attick sales featured Image

WHALE Arts’ Mums into Business group paid a trip to one member’s new shop ATTIC SALES yesterday.

The shop, located in Oakley, Dunfermline, is still in its early stages, was opened by Sindy Santos who has collaborated in several projects across the southwest in the past 10 years.

The store offers all sorts of quality used goods, clothing, furniture and households, very similar to a charity shop.

Sindy highlights:

It’s not a charity but very charitable indeed as there’s no prices on tag but lets people ‘pay what you can’ as long as it’s reasonable and has been working well since day 1 – 1st July 2022.

There’s not a shop like this anywhere around, not only we are passing things to the community and neighbour villages -handy for many so they don’t need to travel far saving money from the costs of petrol- but also doing our bit for the environment/climate change; teaching by example to new generations that we should slow down on production and cut on unnecessary consumption.

Mums into Business offers a free creche service, taking care of the kids so the women can have precious adult time next door to work to create, build and grow their own businesses.

Participants do networking wherever they go and yesterday had the pleasure to meet one of the shop regulars and inspirational founder of Women4women Ms Levett who recently got the BEM (British Empire Medal) in recognition of her work supporting women in difficult situations.

Now the members have been putting theory into practice about all they’ve learnt from business workshops in Edinburgh delivered by Yvonne Bostock who’s been working for many years for Business Gateway. She still offers groups and or 1-2-1 sessions open to anyone.
