What is the Association of Charity Shops?
The Association of Charity Shops helps charities running shops to operate their shops as effectively as possible by pooling expertise, promoting common interests and working together. Our members range from the largest national charities to locally based hospices, and represent over 90% of the charity shops sector, which generates an annual turnover of more than £550 million, of which £110m goes to vital charitable causes. The Association provides these members with a national forum – and a national voice – protecting, supporting and representing charity shops locally, nationally and on the European stage.
