If you Gift Aid your donated goods, we can claim back from HMRC 25p for every \u00a31 from the proceeds of the sale of your items.<\/p>\n This additional income really does make a big difference, so please don’t forget to Gift Aid donations if you are a UK taxpayer. It\u2019s easy to do. And our staff will probably ask you if you want to.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section el_class=”pt-5″ el_id=”about-our-charity-shops”][vc_row content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”2\/3″ el_class=”pr-lg-3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n The Centre for Peaceful Solutions (CPS)<\/a> is a registered charity with a track record in using The Dialogue Road Map (DRM) to reduce conflict and violence.<\/p>\n CPS establishes projects that change attitudes to conflict and help to resolve disputes peacefully within families, communities and organisations.

By generating our own funding we can maintain our independence and avoid becoming agents of our contractors.<\/p>\n We chose the charity shop business as it creates employment and plugs us into the local community. A small charity like ours does not have a significant budget for marketing and we often go unseen because our work is discreet. Who wants to publicly admit that they have an issue with violence?<\/p>\n Charities have a very special concession for the sale of donated goods which means they are not subject to tax. This means that profits are donated to the charity. There is also a concession on Business Rates and the possibility for UK taxpayers to GiftAid their donation which brings in an extra 25p on each \u00a3.<\/p>\n However, a charity shop has all the usual overheads of running a business including rent, salaries, repairs, health and safety, insurance, utilities and setting up a shop requires investment in rent deposit, shop fit out and recruitment. This means we have to regulate our pricing in order to meet the overheads and provide benefit to the charity. Without benefit to the charity the shops would not exist.<\/p>\n A charity shop also has the monumental task of sorting donations which is only achieved through people power which is why we need volunteers.<\/p>\n For comparison, a healthy profit margin in the retail sector and for small business is around 10 to 15%. We generally manage to maintain around 15% to 20% because some of the work is carried out by volunteers. These profits go to the charity which also has salary and overheads to pay and without this funding we could not sustain our work. We also hold occasional fundraisers and seek grants from donors and trusts who are interested in our work.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces”][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”190″ img_size=”full” el_class=”mb-0″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”194″ img_size=”full” el_class=”mb-0″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”191″ img_size=”full” el_class=”mb-0″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section full_width=”stretch_row” el_class=”py-5 bg-primary text-white” el_id=”contact” css=”.vc_custom_1592414704444{background-image: url(https:\/\/pscharityshop.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/PS-website_V1_Donations.jpg?id=178) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n We want you to have a great experience of our shops whether you are donating, buying or volunteering.
