I volunteered in a very rich part of London which got very high end stuff even Rolex watch and I can guarantee that not all proceeds go to charity. This was a private owned charity shop and the owner kept all the good stuff, used the proceeds to pay themselves and the management staff, bills and other cost. After that I no longer donated to private owned charity shops.

I worked for a well known UK charity and can tell you all for a fact that they donate VERY LITTLE to the cause they claim to support, think 5% little. The only two UK charities who actually donate heaps of their profits are British Heart Foundation and Cancer Research UK, but mainly BHF. It’s a shame.

When my mum passed away i thought it would be good to donate her clothes( the stuff that would sell) to the local charity shop. It was Sue ryder. I called in first to see what they would take. The list of what they wont take is massive, the list of what they will take is small. Most of the stuff i took was new with tags on, lots of M&S coats and shoes, A week later i saw one of her coats in the window and i thought good at least they are going to be used, when i looked at the price they wanted £55 it was probably only £70 new, it never got sold so it was sold abroad. Way too expensive, if you are skint you cant afford that, If i had had the time i would have sold them at a car boot or vinted and donated the money myself

They’re no longer thrift shops now. They’re more like upper class second hand boutiques or consignment for charity. It’s really changed in the last 10 years.

Being pretty cynical of all big charities, the punchy price tags don’t particularly attract me ….i just want a bargain !

The small discs with the inserts in the middle are 45’s. They have two songs, one on each side. They were a big part of music when I was a kid in the sixties. And the Dave Clark Five came along shortly after the Beatles—almost a sound-alike band. So glad you decided to check out the charity shops. I was recently in Scotland and had a lot of fun checking them out while I was there. Would love to see more like this in other parts of town. Thanks!

We never know what we are going to get with your videos, Hannah, but they are always fun. For what it’s worth, I think you look lovely in that jacket. 😊

Great video! I vote for more videos of the other areas you mentioned and let us see their charity shop vibes. Thumbs up for sure 👍

I'm really disillusioned with the second-hand charities in Australia. If you donate clothes or furniture, they will only take what they can immediately put in the shops and bin the rest, or refuse to take it. They do not give anything to people in need - I mean, an old computer desk with a couple of dings in it might not be saleable, but I'm sure there are people who would appreciate having it instead of having to use the kitchen table, for example.

It doesn't matter what kind of shopping it is, it's always fun to shop with you ❤

As a lover of old rock and roll, my favourite part was definitely seeing that Dave Clarke Five 45. Would never have thought that charity shop would sell 45s. By the way, The Dave Clarke Five were one of the best British bands and probably the second best selling after the Beatles in 1964.

Hannah, your new quilted jacket looks lovely on you! It truly brings out your strawberries-and-cream complexion 🍓

I used to go to a vintage shop for bargains. It was located in a wealthy neighborhood. People put stuff on consignment or sold it. The owner had shirts by Charvet, ties by E. Marinella, and suits by Armani. I even bought some tailored suits and had them altered. Everything was affordable. She eventually closed the store. The equivalent today is more like the shops in this video. Much is overpriced used clothing.

Happy Friday, Hannah! Interesting vlog today. The charity shops you visited were definitely nicer and better organized than the many I’ve been in near me and around the city. I really enjoy seeing the rest of London through the eyes of someone who lives there. Have an amazing weekend! See you Tuesday!

I feel that your right about the prices in thrift stores, I feel that the prices are too high for the common working person to afford. Profits should be in moderation and in balance with the needs of the people.

Not in London but I once found a Karen Millen off the shoulder zip back top - tags still on, unworn, pristine - retail price was £95 got it in the charity shop for 15 I was so happy with that bargain!

[workinprogress]

The people who can afford those prices do not buy second hand.

Another great video!! Thanks Hannah. I didn't really notice a difference with the mic. It's always fun, to have you
walk us around London. My legs don't get to tired and my feet never hurt.😉

I spend a LOT of times trawling in charity shops, I've got some quality items, a couple of fantastic Ted Baker coats, loads of designer suit jackets and all at very reasonable prices 👌
