Have Fat Cat CEOs Killed Charity Shops?!

Have fat cat CEOs killed charity shops or are they simply pricing themselves out of existence? They used to be affordable lifelines for families and those in need but now prices are rising, customers are leaving and stores are shutting down. Have charity shops become too expensive to survive? Are they destroying themselves by charging too much, or are there other reasons for their demise?

In this video, I break down why charity shops are closing, whether high prices are to blame, and what it means for the future of our high streets.

📌 Watch until the end for the most controversial question we can ask!
