Charity shops in Nottingham, particularly in Sherwood, are facing a shortage of donations, leading to urgent appeals from organizations like Mind. Donations are crucial for these shops as they rely on them for stock. The rise of online selling platforms is contributing to the decline in donations, as people often sell unwanted items instead of giving them away. Charity shops emphasize the importance of donations, highlighting that they enable them to continue their charitable work and provide essential support to the community.
Various charity shops across Nottingham – specifically in Sherwood – have been urgently appealing for donations in the past month. Items such as men’s and women’s clothing, accessories and household items are in demand for charity shops as donations are their main source of stock.
“I only share appeals for donations on social media when we urgently need new stock and we usually get a good response from the community. We’re quite lucky because we have a lot of regular people who donate to us.” However, the rise of online selling platforms means many people sell all of their unwanted items instead of donating which is a reason for a decline in donations. Necia added: “We are one of the only charities around here that never refuses donations.
