The Association of Charity Shops has changed its name to the Charity Retail Association
after consulting with its members. The new name was announced at its annual general
meeting last week.

The Association, which aims to promote and support the charity retail sector, has
over 320 members who together run about 7,000 shops across the UK.

The organisation’s new brand incorporates a new logo for the Code of Charity Retailing,
which was introduced in April 2005 and is the only self-regulatory code for charity
retailers. Members are required to display the logo wherever possible, such as in
charity shops, on textile and book recycling banks, on house-to-house collection
sacks and vans.
