About this Event

What next for high street charity shops?

While many charities have seen donations surge in the pandemic, sales in the shops have fallen. They’re increasingly looking online to make up the shortfall

We’ll be discussing:

· How innovation can help retail: We look at the current environment in retail, and give you some insight into what the future holds

· Tips for survival: What charities can do to help their physical shops survive the current crisis

· How to thrive on the high street: Survival is one thing – but how can you then go on and thrive?
