retail

From its setup in 1980, ‘Second Time Around’ has been receiving clothing and household items no longer needed and selling to those in need of the same items at a small cost and on a non-profit basis. So what’s changed? Second Time Around is still receiving good quality donations and our store continues to sell these items to customers who in some cases are struggling with the ever increasing cost-of living crisis.

Now we have a whole new generation of donor and buyer. Like us, many people are passionate about social responsibility; looking after the wellbeing of our communities and the protection of our precious planet. If we are a match for your passions please DONATE and SHOP, you’ll feel so much better too.

Our chef Matthew Rice works his magic in the Crescent Vitality Kitchen. Mathew began cooking his own special stout and buttermilk wheaten bread which has been a very welcome accompaniment to the lunches Mathew prepares and cooks on a daily basis for users at the centre.

With Matthews pedigree working in kitchens from the Crawfordsburn Inn to Howard Street in Belfast he is always working on ideas and recipes get in touch if you could.

catering

Crescent Vitality Kitchen works to provide opportunities for healthy food choices. Matthew sources ethical, equitable, environmentally-conscious foods locally to provide nutritious meals and desserts each day. All for an affordable price of £6 for a two course lunch.

The Kitchen has continued to grow and now we are proud to be able to offer a full catering service for meetings and conferences delivered to your premises.
