Kick-off 2021

Join us on Friday 15 January for our first meeting of the year, as we reflect on the impact of the new national lockdown’s on charity retail, share our plans for 2021 and discuss how you, we and the whole sector can support for the future of the high street and charity retail.

Running from 2pm – 3.30pm, lead by our Chief Executive Robin Osterley and assisted by three of our charity members, this will be an open forum discussion for all able to attend.
