Charity shops are now significant occupiers of the UK high street, and are becoming familiar sites of consumption in the USA, Australia, Canada and Ireland. This volume provides the first overview of the history and development of the charity shop, incorporating material from a variety of disciplines, including marketing, retailing, cultural studies and social geography. Presenting recent research from the UK, Europe, Australia and North America, this book fills gap in the literature of the field, and will be of great interest to all practitioners, researchers and students wishing to study the charity shop phenomenon.

Book excerpt: "For charities, their retail shops are an essential revenue and donation stream. Due to an increasingly competitive marketplace, the last ten years has seen a movement away from the traditional charity shop concept, with management rethinking their entire approach to retailing. Previously, any type of financial investment that was needed for the stores was seen as taking money away from the cause. However, changing mind-sets have seen management within this sector adopt a more professional and commercial approach by implementing new technologies, expanding their product offering, and adopting an approach that traditionally, was reserved for the private, rather than non-profit retail sector. Established in 2009, Mary's Living & Giving Shop for Save the Children is a philosophy gifted to Save the Children by retail expert, Mary Portas. Mary wanted to revolutionise the way charity shops were perceived, as well as to create an outlet for premium brands and retailers to dispose of excess stock without damaging the value of their brand. So, at a time when charity salaries and expenditure were under the media spotlight, and charity stakeholders were questioning donors' financial return on investment (should the charity spend money on a store refit or feed a family of four for a month?), Mary was encouraging Save the Children to adopt a more mainstream retail ethos, by financially investing in retail design, customer service, and visual merchandising. By employing the principles of retailing into an environment where traditionally customer expectations and average selling prices are not very high, Mary and Save the Children created a retail space that complimented the selling of premium brands, as well as encouraged a new type of audience (consumer, donor, and volunteer). With currently twenty-two shops in and around London and one shop in Edinburgh, the majority of these shops contribute more than three times the average weekly earnings per shop than that of the average UK charity retail sector. This case study looks at the key factors involved in successfully creating this revolutionary premium charity retail concept."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Whether you run a company or just work for one, you’ll find here abundant inspiration and examples of how businesses can safeguard the environment and improve the lot of their employees, their communities, and the world beyond while ensuring their own long-term profitability.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 'Theory and Solution of Jetlag' is based on the earth's magnetic field and the behaviour of migrating birds. There is a copy of a letter from the Civil Aviation Authority which states they were 'extremely interested in my observations' on blood clotting in aircraft. Some eminent scientists were upset on my theory for a remedy for rheumatoid arthritis. An interesting theory is how earth originated from the sun, and its varying orbits. Other theories are how our weather has been the inspiration for many famous people and leaders of men having delusions of grandeur. There is a copy of a letter from 10 Downing Street to say that the Prime Minister, Tony Blair, had carefully noted my views on a balance between the private and public sector particularly when tendering for work. I have an idea for solving the problem of violence in aircraft. The easiest way to Australia is the most amusing concept. I express my views on our race being very much 'the survival of the fittest'.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'It is as if I have been waiting for someone to ask me these questions for almost the whole of my life' From 1945, more than four million British servicemen were demobbed and sent home after the most destructive war in history. Damaged by fighting, imprisonment or simply separation from their loved ones, these men returned to a Britain that had changed in their absence. In Stranger in the House, Julie Summers tells the women's story, interviewing over a hundred women who were on the receiving end of demobilisation: the mothers, wives, sisters, who had to deal with an injured, emotionally-damaged relative; those who assumed their fiancés had died only to find them reappearing after they had married another; women who had illegitimate children following a wartime affair as well as those whose steadfast optimism was rewarded with a delightful reunion. Many of the tales are moving, some are desperately sad, others are full of humour but all provide a fascinating account of how war altered ordinary women's lives forever.

Book excerpt: THE NEW BOOK FROM THE MUCH-LOVED AUTHOR OF THE GRAN TOUR, A CHIP SHOP IN POZNAN AND THE MARMALADE DIARIES Food fights, fishing and French cooking - bestselling author Ben Aitken's year of actively pursuing fun Ben Aitken wasn't getting enough. He knew it and so did everyone else. He was grumpy, increasingly boring, mostly joyless. So, he joined a lawn bowls club. A week later, he doubled down on the doldrums by learning to dance like they do in Bollywood. Then - with an almost entirely reformed selfhood winking appealingly just around the corner - he started swimming in cold water and was back to square one. Despite the setbacks (and hyperventilation), it was becoming clear to him that the very pursuit of fun was a great way of not feeling naff. And so he made a vow to have as much of the f-stuff as he possibly could. Taking a liberal approach to the subject, he sought out things that he used to find fun a long time ago (i.e. food fights and wrestling); things that he'd never done before but reckoned could be fun (boozy French cooking classes, tantric sex); things whose fun-factor was less obvious and more down to earth (nostalgia, volunteering, edible gardening, watching chickens); and things that he wasn't at all sure about but were fun according to other people (gym classes, caving, TikTok). Unsurprisingly, the results were mixed, but he was undoubtedly left feeling ... better. Which left him asking, if fun is the finest medicine, why do we stop doing it?

Book excerpt: The Ancient Path leads us deep into the Wildwood. The foundations of practice have been laid, and Erin is stepping into the rhythm and weaving of the worlds. But it is the spirits who now must lead her teaching, and prepare her for her initiation into the ways of those who walk the worlds. She's going to be asked to undertake her most personal journey yet - for herself, and those closest to her. Will she find her way along the Ancient Path? Winsome, her world and calling in pieces around her - what is she to do? After thinking she had found the place where she belonged, now she must decide whether to rebuild her life, or move on. Continue the journey with the inhabitants of Wellsford and Wilde Grove as they venture down the ancient path and strive to bring their lives and community into harmony. Because the world must be sung into balance and wild magic must be tapped into to keep the wheel turning. Wild magic has many secrets – and many gifts, for those who would learn its ways. The Singing is the fourth book in the Wilde Grove series, following on from The Rising. ⊕
