Good charity shops for wee figures

Weird request. I'm looking for wee figures (approx 3 inches tall) as I'm a counsellor developing my collection of figures for sand tray work with my clients. Can anyone recommend good charity shops with boxes of random kid's toys where it's like 50p a piece? I feel like this used to be a lot more common, but charity shops now, especially in the city centre, seem to have way less random cheap junk and loads more overpriced fancy clothes. Happy to travel to any part of Glasgow. Thanks in advance for reading!

ADP (Scotland) - Redetermination or new application?

I recently got rejected for ADP on my first application - I was one point short of getting the standard amount which is frustrating. I did the application over the phone with someone from social security Scotland, my impression was that doing this instead of filling it in myself would help me understand the questions (I'm autistic and I sometimes struggle with understanding what I'm being asked), but to be honest the person just read out the questions and wasn't much help. I now know that I should have got someone else to help me with the application. I have an appointment with citizens advice to do a redetermination - however my doctor is saying that I should do an entirely new application because there will be new info. Eg: I said I needed no help with clothing because I can physically dress myself fine, but I do need to consult my partner on what I should wear for specific weather or temperatures and quite often I wear the wrong thing.

Can anyone advise on this - ideally my Redetermination would be successful and then I'd get it backdated, but that's best case scenario.

Hello, I'm wondering if there's anyone who has experience getting a redetermination for ADP, I was one point short of getting the standard amount. I did the application with one of the Social Security Scotland staff on the phone - my impression was that they were there to help you understand the questions but to be honest the women sounded like she couldn't be bothered and just read the questions to me - I can read fine on my own. I am thinking of submitting a statement of my own about how my disability affects me, as well as asking for something from my GP although I know they don't always provide these. I'm just really worried that the redetermination will mean that the take away all the points and I'll be left with nothing.

Hello, I'm wondering if there's anyone who has experience getting a redetermination for ADP, and if there are any good support services for this in Glasgow or online. I contacted Voiceability but haven't heard back from them. I was one point short of getting the standard amount.
