From collecting food for Coast Shelter to donating white goods to Allawah House, Central Coast Antiques & Collectables has community at its heart and has helped dozens of local charities and individuals.
The business was established as Woy Woy Antiques & Collectables in Deepwater Plaza three years ago.
Mitchell Gordon and the team behind Fairhaven’s first long-term pop-up shop launched the venture to assist not-for-profit organisations affected by the COVID-19 lockdowns.
A percentage of profits was divided between Rotary Brisbane Water, Woy Woy Youth Cottage, Brisbane Water Historical Society, Coast Shelter, Mary Mac’s Place, RSPCA Central Coast, WIRES Central Coast, Westlakes Stoke Recovery Group and The Salvation Army Umina Beach Corps during the height of the crises.
The outlet relocated to larger premises in Gosford during the 2021 lockdown.
Several community-minded ventures – a complimentary home clearance service for elderly people, excess stock donations to Lifeline Gosford and the distribution of bedding, food and household items to people experiencing hardship – have been implemented at the new location.
Central Coast Antiques & Collectables is located at 3 Watt St, Gosford, near Australia Post.
Opening hours are 10.30am-5pm, seven days a week.
