In the charity sector it’s more important than ever that every penny is spent in a meaningful way.
We have extensive experience of providing bespoke and specialist solutions in Goods not for Resale (GNFR), helping over 250 charities make the most of their budgets.
We work with national charities including Cancer Research, Shelter, Crisis, YMCA, Oxfam, Age UK and the RSPCA as well as a lots of smaller local charities, to help drive down their costs.
We’re committed to supporting sustainable procurement solutions for Charity Retail in every aspect, whether it’s through product innovation or process improvement and waste reduction.
We can help you understand your main areas of and have complete visibility of your entire GNFR spend, reducing unnecessary administration and streamlining ongoing spend. And with our focus on sustainable procurement in everything from cleaning products to packaging, shop floor equipment to point of sale materials, we’re on track to help you reach your environmental goals as well as your charitable ones.
We work with friends such as Jennifer Graham aka Charity Shop Girl who co-hosted our yearly Best Dressed Charity Window Competition in 2022, as well as helping to spread the word about our eco-friendly solutions.
Jennifer supported the launch of our instore Miniml dispensers designed to encourage charity shop customers to use chemical free cleaning products.
We’ve partnered with Miniml to make it easy for all our charity shop customers (and us too!) to use natural cleaning products that don’t harm the environment and reduce plastic use.
These ethical cleaning products made from plant-based ingredients are supported by a closed loop system which means our customers can reduce their carbon footprint too.
Greener, cost effective shipping will be music to your ears. It’s how we deliver direct to every charity shop we work with nationwide. We do this through our partner DPD, as well as sharing logistics with local businesses to keep your (and our)carbon footprint down.
DPD align with our green goals, with an increasing number of electric vans being added to their fleet each year. Consolidation through DPD means vans that are already operating around the country, further reducing our CO2 footprint.
We also provide the Charity Shop Gift Card through our MyAcopia portal enabling access to their complete Point Of Sale suite for every charity shop we work with. The Charity Gift card is then delivered directly to the charity shop as part of their weekly or monthly consumables purchase which means we can fulfil this with the minimum carbon footprint.
The card enables instore charity customers to give provide the gift for giving, encouraging recipients to shop for good.
We work across a breadth of industries that make use of packaging and wrap materials,
bringing our specialist knowledge to various different use cases and needs.
