Seeking your ambassadors for The Preloved Post

Our consumer newsletter with The Charity Shop Gift Card, The Preloved Post, is growing! We now reach almost 2,000 dedicated charity shop fans, and we want to showcase your shops to them.

Newspaper featuring the Preloved Post.

We’re looking for contributors for our 'My Favourite Charity Shop' segment. Do you have a high-profile supporter, ambassador, or influencer who would be happy to write a few paragraphs about why they love your shops and tell us their favourite?

It is a fantastic way to reach a highly engaged audience of second-hand shoppers. They would be in great company as previous contributors include AllSaints founder Stuart Trevor, author Lauren Bravo, actor Laya Lewis, and journalist Rachel Burden.

If this sounds of interest, please email hannah@charityretail.org.uk to discuss further! And if you're not already subscribed, you can do so here.
