Charity Shop World

Having spent decades exploring charity shops for bargains and treasure, Tansy Hoskins decided to dig deep into the world of charity shop volunteering. From used underwear to wolf pelts, 'Charity Shop World' is a personal account of sorting through donations to reveal the entanglement of people and products. This book also investigates the export of clothes to overseas markets and landfill, revealing hidden shareholders behind a multi-million pound business. Taking us to the heart of a country hit by austerity and the cost of living crisis, 'Charity Shop World' reveals surprising places of human connectivity, where local communities struggle to find their way through economic hardship to reach a more sustainable way of living.
