This week Great Oaks Hospice in the Forest of Dean will be the first charity on the app to go live with a new What’s in Store feature.  Retail Manager Pauline Fosbery says “When someone donates to our Bride Shop, we can take photos, write a short description, add a price and within a minute or two it’s listed on the My Charity Shop App.  People can sit at home and browse all the wedding dresses for sale on the app, it’s very quick and simple”.

For charity furniture shops the What’s In Store feature has huge potential, with shop managers and volunteers able to list an item within a minute or two.  Susan Kerber, Retail and Commercial Manager at St Margaret’s Hospice in Somerset said “We’ve been struggling to find a quick and easy way to preview furniture for years but found it very impractical to update items on our website.  This is a built for purpose solution that can be easily administered by a shop manager or volunteer, and adds minimal additional workload.  We’re really excited and hope to launch within a few weeks”.
