About The Charity Retail Consultancy

As the UK trade association for charity shops, it is the Charity Retail Association’s purpose to lead and support the charity retail sector, inspiring everyone to be involved and understand its social, environmental and economic value in a changing world.

As well as being affordable and sustainable places to shop, charity shops also play an important role in improving people’s lives and wellbeing, generating social value in many different ways. We know everyone's accessibility needs are different, which is why having detailed, accurate information is so important. Charities in the UK are an incredible force for the positive, and charity shops often form their most accessible public face. By signposting AccessAble’s work, we are committed to helping create an inclusive and welcoming experience for all visitors to charity shops across the UK.
