Charity shop fans, we’ve got some big news for you.
The Royal Trinity Hospice shop in Fulham has just been crowned London’s Favourite Charity Shop in the UK’s Favourite Charity Shop Awards, and we couldn’t be more excited for them!
This isn’t just any win – it’s a massive achievement! The awards saw 6,500 charity shops from all over the UK nominated, and nearly 13,000 people cast their votes. So, for Fulham’s Royal Trinity Hospice shop to come out on top in London is no small feat.
Daniel Holloway, Director of Retail at Royal Trinity Hospice, is understandably thrilled. “We are over the moon that our Fulham shop has been crowned London’s favourite charity shop by voters,” he said. “The shop benefits from the loyal support of the community – from our incredible volunteers and generous donors to, of course, the shoppers who come through our doors.”
It’s clear that the team’s dedication to creating a warm and welcoming environment has paid off. The Fulham store has become a local gem, especially for those who love to hunt for pre-loved fashion treasures. Plus, every sale goes towards raising vital funds for the hospice’s palliative and end-of-life care services.
Charity shops have had a major resurgence in recent years as people look for more sustainable ways to shop. Royal Trinity Hospice’s 22 stores across London are a huge part of this movement. They’ve even been recognised with an award for their commitment to sustainability, winning the Environmental and Sustainability Award at the Charity Retail Awards in 2023 for their “Sustainable Seven” strategy.
With its carefully curated selection of pre-loved fashion and accessories, the Fulham shop stands out as a destination for those looking to shop more mindfully. It’s not just about the clothes – it’s about supporting a good cause and giving back to the community.
The UK’s Favourite Charity Shop Awards were launched this year as part of the Charity Retail Association’s 25th anniversary celebrations. In the first stage, the public was invited to nominate their favourite charity shops, sharing what made them special. From there, shortlisted stores went through a public vote to determine the twelve area winners, including Fulham’s Royal Trinity Hospice shop for London. The UK’s Favourite Charity Shop 2024 will be announced at a special event in November – so keep your eyes peeled!
