Charity Shop Survey 2020
THE CHARITY Shops Survey 2020 is the latest chance to review the health of the charity retail sector.
Charity leaders like to talk about the robustness of their retail operations, and this year we can add the extraordinary challenge of the Covid-19 pandemic to years of social and economic uncertainty caused by
recession and the upheavals of Brexit.
The Charity Shop Survey 2020 comprises of data for 30 charities, and covers the period before the coronavirus crisis but was collected after the pandemic had struck. It is a smaller survey than in previous years, a reflection of the fact that charities were navigating the complexity of lockdown and furlough, but includes information on the sector’s largest retailers.
