Brilliant Fathers' Day gift!

That's interesting.
Never heard of this before!

Sounds good to me- DH scours them for books.

Meant to say, there are quite a few local charities as well as national ones such as Sense, Shelter, YMCA, Marie Curie etc. local ones seem to be mainly hospices and animal welfare charities.

Never heard of them, but what a brilliant idea!
Both my dds buy most of their clothes in charity shops - dresses etc. that look brand new for a fraction of the new price.

Mmmn. Thanks for the link.
Only two charities take them here. St. Giles and Sense.

What a brilliant idea! Thank you for the link Katek. Using my postcode, I found two within walking distance of my home in Torquay: Mare and Foal Charity and The Children's Society.

Does anyone know what this costs the charities?

From the charityshopgiftcard t&c's
"10 Fees

10.1 There are no fees payable by you associated with using the Card. The Charities pay a card redemption fee to Gift Card CIC for every purchase made using the Card at that participating charity’s retail outlets"

What a brilliant present. I love charity ships, always have done. We have wonderful ones in our town. I always find lovely clothes that are almost new or sometimes even have the tags still on them.
My think that my son is embarrassed that l shop in them but l think it's ridiculous that he pays £100.00 for a t shirt. Crazy money in my opinion.
A voucher for charity shops would be my ideal present.

What a great idea. I love a charity shop browse and DH gets and recycles his books in there. I’ve checked the post code and the nearest ones to me are the local hospice stores. DH noticed when passing that the closest one had a To Let sign on the property so I hope it isn’t closing. Shame if it is the staff are so friendly and prices very reasonable.
Thanks for sharing this info Katek

What an excellent idea.

Brilliant! I never knew such things existed!

Excellent idea! The link shows nine charity shops within five miles of here, very interesting. Thanks, katek.

What a brilliant idea thank you for the link!

Super to know - thanks katek. Also wondering if such a thing would be of use to give to homeless people - I currently only do Greigs vouchers when I can get them for a bite for them to eat.

We have some excellent charity shops locally, but the nearest that voucher is valid is the Sally Ann 35 miles away.

That is a great idea. I love a charity shop bargain. Not all charities are signed up, unfortunately.

Thanks Katek - hope DH manages to find some amazing bargains 💚

Hi Patsy - we're working really hard to sign up more charities - we expect the network to double this year 💚

Hi Dizzyribs - we're adding more charities all of the time so please do check again. We expect the number of charities to more than double this year 💚

Hi PilgrimQuill. We already work with councils, charities and other support agencies that provide financial help to people in need. We have another website that explains how we work with support agencies charityshopvouchers.co.uk/ but we also have a partner charity that distributes cards via foodbanks, refuges and other support agencies www.clothingcollective.org/ 💚

We do charge a fee to charities for accepting the card however we are a not for profit ourselves and once profitable, we will be using the majority of our profits to fund free cards for users of foodbanks, refuges, homeless shelters and other support agencies 💚
We're also part owned by the Charity Retail Association which is the trade association for charity retailers.
