St John Shop Sydenham is a second hand store on Colombo Street in Sydenham, Christchurch, rated 4.4 from 138 reviews, run by St John as one of its charity shops. Money raised in a St John shop goes back into the organisation's ambulance and first aid services, so buying something here supports that work directly rather than a private business. Being part of a larger charity chain rather than a small independent op shop, stock tends to turn over quickly and in higher volume, so it's worth calling in regularly rather than assuming what you saw last visit is still there. It's also worth checking that any donated electrical items carry a safety tag showing they've been tested, since not every charity shop tests everything before it goes on the shelf. On Colombo Street in Sydenham, this shop is a local outlet for that kind of charity-run second hand trade.
