Totally agree @wcvaruth - it was fab to meet sector colleagues In The Flesh! Big thanks to @edmayo1@ROsterley and Claire Moody of @EquallyOurs for planning such a productive discussion on how together we can be more than the sum of our parts #CivilSocietyGroup
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
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.
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.
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.
