Charity shops fear deluge of donations when they reopen in June
Charity shops fear they will be deluged by donations when they start to reopen in just over two weeks.But they face a number of challenges after the coronavirus closures with all new offerings set to be quarantined for 72 hours.
Barnardo's, one of the country's leading charity shop chains, is advising customers to call their local store to ensure the shop is able to take the items, in order to help manage the expected influx. "From mid-June, we will reopen a small number of BHF shops to establish new safe ways of working with others to follow," said Allison Swaine-Hughes, retail director at British Heart Foundation.
But, in contrast to the excess of stock expected, here they are bracing for a shortage:"We are expecting a temporary shortage of volunteers when shops re-open again," said Robin Osterly.
