This is a remarkable enterprise that is run entirely by volunteers in a rural location. It originally started out as a few games of bingo, organised by Jessie and Davie Robertson MBE to raise money for cancer research. Their charity shop, now housed in Dunira Street in Comrie, has developed something of a reputation for stocking some excellent quality items, and the volunteers spend a lot of care and thought into their retail display. They have been dubbed as \u201cLittle Harrods\u201d by locals, with shoppers coming from miles around to grab a bargain! All of the volunteers, of which there are no shortage, love their work at the shop as it a great social hub for all of the residents. It is very important to the Club that the funds they raise are all directed to local charities<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/283\/2025\/04\/Comrie1-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1615\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/ncc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/283\/2025\/04\/Comrie1-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/ncc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/283\/2025\/04\/Comrie1-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/ncc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/283\/2025\/04\/Comrie1-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/ncc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/283\/2025\/04\/Comrie1-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/ncc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/283\/2025\/04\/Comrie1-1-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/sites.dundee.ac.uk\/ncc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/283\/2025\/04\/Comrie1-1-1920x1440.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Residents lucky enough to live in the beautiful village of Comrie have come together to raise impressive amounts of money for a number of Scottish cancer charities.
