Research programme

The most valued benefit of being a CRA Charity Member is getting access to regular, exclusive charity retail market analysis and benchmarking reports. Our Quarterly Market Analysis offers information that cannot be found anywhere else, covering sales, Gift Aid, transactions, shop numbers, factors affecting income, shop collection prices, and more. The information is also broken down into retail chain size and hospice retail.

In a recent poll it was found that research was the number one CRA service priority for members. They recognise the fundamental difference strong data makes to our lobbying activity and positive change for charity retail. We can only produce these exclusive reports with our members’ participation.

Call to action!

The more survey participants, the stronger the data, and the more influence we have to help you.

To start receiving the quarterly surveys email susan@charityretail.org.uk.

“The Charity Retail Consultancy is delighted to sponsor the CRA research programme for 2025. As charity retailers ourselves, we understand the huge value that data and insights bring when building a successful operation. We encourage all CRA members to contribute to the QMA and other surveys provided throughout the year – the more of us that share, the better the data is for the whole sector”
