What is Charity Retail Learning?

Charity Retail Learning is a partnership between The Charity Retail Academy and the Charity Retail Association providing online and face-to-face training to charity retailers. As two organisations dedicated to charity shops and retail, we saw an opportunity to come together to provide low cost, relevant and accessible learning opportunities – a one-stop shop of learning opportunities designed by and for charity retailers.

Courses cover a range of subjects including health & safety, volunteering, customer service, ecommerce and other charity retail essentials.

Most courses are short, interactive online sessions that learners can work through on a laptop, tablet or phone, making them really accessible for staff and volunteers – including shop teams. We also deliver live webinars on a range of topics via Zoom and longer face-to-face sessions either for individual teams or groups made up from multiple organisations.
