More than a shop 2025

The Charity Retail Association’s “More than a Shop” campaign (21–27 April 2025) highlights the wider impact of charity shops beyond retail, with resources available to help participants showcase their community, sustainability, and creative roles.

More than a shop logo.

Our next social media campaign, running 21 – 27 April this year is about raising profile.

Charity shops are no regular high street shopping experience – they are so much more – and we think the public need to know!

We’ve created a series of customisable assets and reels on Canva. You can share our versions when we post across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and YouTube week commencing 21 April, or you can add your own retail operation’s images and logo to these assets. Just email Susan with your content or to request the Canva links on susan@charityretail.org.uk.

Here are some examples of the assets:
