Can charity shops open in Tier 3?
Robin Osterley, chief executive of the CRA, told Third Sector earlier this month the lockdown was “not good news”, but he understood the Government’s reasoning.
He said: “Every month charity shops are closed is a loss of £28m, so that’s the minimum we expect to see as a result of this new lockdown.
“It’s not good news for all concerned, but we understand the need for a lockdown and we appreciate you have to look at the big picture.”
As charity shops prepare to emerge out of the other side of the autumn lockdown, they will have already installed the necessary safety measures.
