Charity Shops Survey 2025
The Charity Shops Survey 2025 is the latest review of the health of the charity retail sector.
Now in its 34th year, the Charity Shops Survey provides essential benchmarking information and analysis of key trends and performance figures in charity retail.
Cost pressures are among the key challenges highlighted in our Charity Shops Survey 2025, which received 40 responses from charities of various income sizes, ranging from FORCE Cancer Charity (£1.62m) and Oxfam GB (£340m).
Subscribers to Charity Finance magazine receive a free copy of the survey as part of their subscription, plus access to previous year's surveys for comparison.
The survey includes detailed financial benchmarking data revealing:
- Overall profits
- Income sources such as donated goods, bought-in goods, rag and gift aid
- Costs such as shop rents and staffing
- Volunteer numbers
