🗞️It’s been a big week for Concern retail!

We were delighted to welcome journalist .interviews from the into our shops for a sneak peek behind the scenes and a chat with our team.

We’re incredibly proud of our shops and our wonderful volunteers, so having the chance to share what we do on a national platform means everything.

Our Concern shops connects our local community to something much bigger, supporting vital work around the world while also making a real difference here at home.

We’ve got really exciting plans ahead, and this is only the beginning. Stay tuned, get involved, and be part of something truly special 💚🌍

Fiona Anderson is the Retail Development Manager for the charity, and after just one year in the role she has noticed a big change in shopping habits.

“People sometimes felt they had to justify shopping second-hand as it carried a stigma and that simply isn’t the case any more. In fact, many customers are proud of it,” she said.

“There’s been a real shift in attitudes, particularly among younger shoppers, who actively choose pre-loved clothing as part of a more considered approach to fashion.”
