Donated goods for a good cause. Turn other people's cupboards into funds.
The stock arrives free, so the whole business is sorting, pricing and getting rid of what cannot be sold, and rag collection pays very little for the rest. Volunteers are the workforce and the hardest thing to keep, and Gift Aid on donated goods adds a quarter to the value of everything a signed-up donor brings in. Mandatory rate relief and donated stock are why a charity shop can hold a high street unit that nobody else can afford.
