Another great @CharityRetail people management group meeting - with fine hybrid facilities as well. Thanks to Sarah Trivett from @salvationarmyuk for chairing.
Fantastic to report that after a gap of a few years the central retail operation of @age_uk has now rejoined @CharityRetail. It’s great to welcome them back into the family! #charityshops #charityretail
A fantastic scheme with the power to transform and boost charity retail’s profile in the UK – Read my blog: thecharityshopgiftcard.co.uk… #charityshops #agiftcardforgood #sustainablegiving @CharityShopGC
Many congrats to Air Ambulance Service on their cracking new Superstore in Melton Mowbray! @WNDLRAirAmb @CharityRetail
Amazingly powerful speech by @karenmleach at the #dbsconference. A hard-to-listen to reminder of why safeguarding is so important. Hopefully @CharityRetail can play its part with the CRSS scheme,
Lovely to visit the Bristol Community Hub run by @mariecurieuk, and great to meet Jacqui Woolley and her staff. I'm sure this is one of the ways forward for @CharityRetail.
Looking forward to representing @CharityRetail at the @ISWA_org roundtable in Rotterdam today. On the agenda - ethical textiles!

Dad has dementia. Sometimes he drifts into another world and I feel like I’m losing him. He is never more present, however, than when he plays the piano.
He came to mine today and I asked him to play one of his compositions. He thought he wouldn’t be able to remember it.
Looking forward to the @SVP_Ireland conference in sunny Limerick today. Privileged to be speaking about @CharityRetail

We were out and about again today in Parliament, as our Head of Public Affairs @MattKelcher met with MP @AnnaMcMorrin. They discussed about the positive environmental impact of charity retail and the importance of Extended Producer Responsibility.
Great to hear Welsh finance minister @RebeccaEvansAM state that there are no intentions to alter business rate relief for @CharityRetail in Wales in her forthcoming reviews.
Looking forward to meeting the Welsh cross party group on small shops to represent @CharityRetail on the issue of business rates. Nice sunny day in Cardiff!

We'll be sad to see him go 😪, but our Head of Public Affairs - @mattkelcher - is moving on to pastures new. That means we have a vacancy at @CharityRetail! Read more 👉 charityretail.org.uk/vacancy…

Who will you thank?#ThankATeacher
Very interesting meeting of the Charity Tax Commission reference group @NCVO last night. Some very beneficial recommendations in the offing which would be of great benefit to @CharityRetail if they come to pass.
Robert Jenrick, Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury talking to the @CharityTaxGroup conference. Mentioned the @CharityRetail Gift Aid de minimis and that the reduction in business rates for small properties is being welcomed by charity shops. True!
