It is said that charity begins at home, and people in the UK seem to have put these words into practice. Their enthusiasm for helping others shows in the 187,000 charity organisations that exist in the country. Some of the most famous ones are Oxfam, Age Concern, the RSPCA, the British Heart Foundation and Marie Curie Cancer Care.

People donate money to charity organisations or volunteer to help them raise money. Many of these organisations run charity shops. The first charity shop in the United Kingdom was established by Oxfam in Broad Street, Oxford. Oxfam has the largest number of charity shops in the UK with over 800 stores.

Charity shops sell goods at very low prices. The items for sale are usually second-hand and donated by members of the public. These include books, records, CDs, clothes, accessories, household items, furniture and costumes for special occasions such as Halloween. There are bargains for everyone! Some charity shops also sell new goods that are somehow related to the cause they support. In Oxfam stores, for example, you can find fair trade food and crafts.

The staff who work at charity shops are volunteers, so most of the profits from the sales go towards the charity. In the US, where charity shops are called thrift stores, this kind of shopping is so well-known that it has got its own word, it’s called thrifting!

Перевод выполненного текста: Говорят, что благотворительность начинается дома, и, похоже, жители Великобритании воплотили эти слова в жизнь. Их стремление помогать другим проявляется в том, что в стране существует 187 000 благотворительных организаций. Среди самых известных — Oxfam, Age Concern, RSPCA, Британский фонд сердца и Marie Curie Cancer Care.

Люди жертвуют деньги благотворительным организациям или помогают им собирать средства, работая волонтёрами. Многие из этих организаций управляют благотворительными магазинами. Первый благотворительный магазин в Соединённом Королевстве открыла организация Oxfam на Брод-стрит в Оксфорде. У Oxfam больше всего благотворительных магазинов в Великобритании — более 800.

В благотворительных магазинах товары продаются по очень низким ценам. Обычно это бывшие в употреблении вещи, пожертвованные людьми. Среди них — книги, пластинки, компакт-диски, одежда, аксессуары, предметы домашнего обихода, мебель и костюмы для особых случаев, например Хэллоуина. Выгодные покупки найдутся для каждого! Некоторые благотворительные магазины также продают новые товары, связанные с поддерживаемой ими целью. Например, в магазинах Oxfam можно найти продукты и изделия ручной работы, произведённые в рамках справедливой торговли.

Сотрудники благотворительных магазинов — волонтёры, поэтому большая часть прибыли от продаж идёт на благотворительность. В США благотворительные магазины называют thrift stores. Такой вид покупок там настолько известен, что у него появилось собственное название — thrifting.
