Formed in 1999, the association is the only member organisation dedicated to supporting registered charities that run shops, or who are interested in running shops, as part of their fundraising activities. By pooling expertise and joining forces to promote common interests, they help members to operate their shops as effectively as possible and provide information and guidance to those who are just starting out in charity retail. The association's 300 members range from the largest national charities to locally based hospices, running between them 6800 shops.
