This week, as we explore other stories from our evolving high street, we're chatting all things charity shops.
We all know the pressures that non-essential retail has been under this past year, but what about the impact on a sector who rely on retail income to support those are living with long term health conditions? Who are supporting and working with the NHS during one of the most testing times in its history?
How has charity retail been impacted by this year, and by changes to our high streets?
To explore this, I’m delighted to be joined by Lawrence Cowan and Carole Edmonds from Chest, Heart and Stroke Scotland.
They are Scotland’s health charity supporting people and their families across the country who have chest, heart and stroke conditions to make sure everyone lives as full a life as possible. And their cause is even more pertinent this past year.
They also have some of the quirkiest and most fun charity shops on the high street.
We chat to Lawrence and Carole, their Director of Fundraising and Head of Retail field operations respectively to chat about the wonder of finding a bargain and giving your old clothing a new lease of life, how important charity shops are to our communities and how they incorporate a neighbourhood's stories into each boutique.
Enjoy!
