A boutique is nearing its aim of raising £10,000 for charity.
Feel Good Fashion, in Deal, has already reaped nearly £9,000 and expects to reach the target figure by the end of this September.
Its best month was August this year when it raised £1,003.
The shop, in Stanhope Road, has been supporting two different charities a month, adding up to more than 30 since January 2020.
Causes have included the Pilgrims Hospices and the Deal mental health group Talk It Out.
Charities are chosen by customers and 20% of profits from sales are donated.
Owner Kate Sutton said: "We should hit the £10,000 target as we are on track for another good month.
"It is pleasing when we hear from the charities and they tells us how they are spending the money we raised for them.
Feel Good Fashion sells preloved (second hand) clothes. It started online in January 2020 and the shop was opened seven months later.
