PEOPLE in Lichfield have been highlighted the benefits of charity shops as part of a national campaign.
The Charity Retail Association is launching its More Than A Shop initiative this week.
St Giles Hospice has backed the campaign by finding out the stories behind those who support its stores in Lichfield.
The Whittington-based charity’s shops helped to raise more than £550,000 last year.
One shopper said:
“I’ve just moved into a new place, so being able to use the St Giles Hospice furniture shop has been fantastic for finding good quality, affordable furniture.”
Another added:
“Charity shops are so cool – you can always find pieces in there which you can’t find anywhere else.
“I’d love it if someone bought me a gift from a charity shop – I get most of my clothes from them.”
