New Video - Running a charity shop!

Before donating clothes to charity shops, take a moment to assess their condition. Garments with missing buttons, tears or holes may not be suitable for resale unless repaired first. Research local charity shops and choose one aligned with causes you care about. Many won't accept underwear for hygiene reasons, though places like Salvation Army do if they're new and sealed. Call ahead to check their specific donation guidelines. Sort clothes by type and season to make it easier for volunteers. A little preparation ensures your donations create maximum positive impact.

Puppy cuddles and #thrifted clothing! I've gone up a couple of clothing sizes over the last year and a half, so all my old clothes are really tight. Luckily, #charityshops just opened up again and I have dresses that fit! I love the back of this one ☺️ (at County Meath) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPzBQu7nd92/?utm_medium=tumblr

Do you ever buy from Charity shops? I love it as there are often vintage finds to be found. However today it was the hubster who was in look as I found two pair of work trousers and a work jacket hidden among the racks. Even better was that they were all brand new too and the cost of all three was less than one item would have cost me from Amazon! If you've never bought from a Charity shop here are some excellent reasons why you should consider checking them out (from @welovecharityshops) 💰 Are an ethical and sustainable offer to fast fashion and throwaway culture. 💰 Provide great products at fab prices for the local population. The average customer spends just over £4.00! 💰Charity retail is the biggest source of volunteer opportunities in the UK, with 230,000 people currently volunteering in the sector. 💰Last year charity retail contributed over £295m to charitable causes. 💰23,000 staff are employed in the charity retail sector – stable and sustainable local jobs. 💰Charity shops help to attract footfall to high streets and keep them thriving. 💰 As a result of charity retail, the UK’s carbon emissions were cut by nearly seven million tonnes in 2017. So if you haven't already why not try out buying second hand next time you're visiting your local highstreet. #fastfashion #throwawayculture #sustainablefashion #charityshops #shoplocal #secondhand #sustainableliving #woodworkerfashion #woodworker #morethanashop #slowliving #slowlivingmovement #ecoliving #ecofashion #secondhandshop #workwearstyle #mensfashion #ethicalshopping #reducereuserecycle #thrift #zerowaste #fashionwaste #climatechange #ecofriendly #savetheplanet #recycling #lovetheearth (Totally forgot to remove the washing from the radiator before taking this pic lol....ooops!) #reallifenotinstalife https://www.instagram.com/p/B4vakj-h4Kr/?igshid=fuwvoarjjg9r
