Barnardos in Ireland has started a scheme where it will sell new clothes donated
from commercial retailers in its charity shops. ‘Barnardos Brand New’ will appeal
to retailers and wholesalers to provide unsold or end of line goods.
The scheme 
has been implemented on a trial basis in Barnardos Liffey Valley shop outside Dublin
and bridal boutique in Dun Laoghaire. Barnardos now plans to roll out ‘brand new’
across all it shops.

Barnardos shop sales were ‚€960,000 in 2005, down from ‚€1,077,000 in 2004. Net 
income increased, however, from ‚€151,000 in 2004 to ‚€229,000 in 2005. Shop sales
represented 12% of total voluntary income in 2005.
