The Salvation Army Norwood Corps

It has a large hall area to fit more than 100 people, there is a separate chapel. Separate kitchen and many smaller separate rooms. However car parking can be an issue at times due to the cinemas, and shopping centre nearby.

A great organisation doing good things for our community. Hard to believe that when I visited the Wentworth jail the female prisoners they had at the turn of last century was from the Salvos and their protesting. I think it was linked into the temperance movement at that time.

Staff friendly.
Good selection of clothing, limited selection of other items (books, homewares, toys etc).
A Salvation Army shop, so prices a little higher than some op shops, but they do generally have a weekly half-off on a specific 'colour' price.

I think they do a wonderful job, but most of the goods are over priced, i can sometimes get cheaper in k mart and its new, not that i buy money is very tight

What can you say, the Salvos are one of the great forces for good on this planet. More power to you.

Although the new layout looks more open and professionally laid out, they now stock far less items than the previous one. The front section is especially poorly used. The space and shelfs are mostly occupied with not so typical opshop items like new wool rolls, soups, tissues, toothpaste (we can get them easily from 2 dollar shops like Cheap as Chips), The wool takes most of a cabinet. Why can't they be stacked on top of one another on one single shelf so other items can be displayed? Same is with the cushions. They are the same cushions on the whole shelf. Why not take some away and put different ones for people to choose? Also the menchester section is missing. I miss the good old Sallys Seconds and the ladies who used to work there！

The shop assistants were friendly, the prices are great (most pieces around 5-25AUD), and the stock is beautifully arranged and nicely sorted; the sections are all very logical and convenient, and I love that they sorted (as much as they could!) the pieces in each section by colour. I'm also amazed they actually have wedding dresses and accessories available: o

The only downside I think is the quality of some of the items; many are visibly aged and poorly constructed. Although it can't be helped since they are donated items after all, but it is something worth noting. Not all are like that of course, and if you have an afternoon free why not hunt for some treasures ;)
