What is The Wallsend
Op Shop Trail?
Purple Card Project is helping to bring life back into weekends in Wallsend by establishing the Wallsend Op Shop Trail as a key tourist destination – while helping address the shortage of volunteer support in the local op shops, and highlighting the environmental and social benefits our op shops provide for our community.

Environmental and social benefits of the Wallsend op shops
- Wallsend op shops and second-hand stores give clothing and other items new life, and help reduce the amount ending up in landfill in Newcastle.
- Proceeds of sales at Wallsend’s charitable op shops go towards a variety of excellent social causes in our region.
- Purchasing second-hand helps reduce the consumption of energy, water, and raw materials required to make something new.
- Op shops provide valuable volunteer opportunities for our community.
