This is a truly transformative step for the gift card scheme as it not only adds, lots more shops for cardholders to spend their cards but with BHF being the largest furniture charity retailer, it will open up even more opportunities to partner with local authorities, housing associations and other support agencies.

The BHF shops will start to accept The Charity Shop Gift Card in early 2026, coinciding with the roll out of their new till system.

With around half of all retail gift cards being purchased in November and December now is great time to join almost 100 other charity retailers in accepting The Charity Shop Gift Card.
