Fantastic to see our lovely friend, Susan Cooper from Highland Hospice featured on the Charity Retail Association site this week. Susan's shops are amazing - if you're ever visiting the Highlands (and you really should visit the Highlands!) do pop into one of their stores. They're unique, stylish, community-centric shops that always offer a warm welcome. It's no surprise that two of their shops (Dornoch & Thurso) have been shortlisted as Scotland's favourite charity shops - or that their Forres shop won first prize in our Pride display competition this summer. 🏆 We love Susan's innovative approach too - do you know any other charity that runs a miniature railway alongside their shops, for example? 🚂 We were delighted to chat to Susan, Caroline Peach and Charlotte Greenwood a couple of years ago after they were all nominated for a Leadership Award - the video is on our YouTube channel - we'll pop it in the comments here for you to watch over a cuppa. 🍵 #charityretail #charityshops #scotland #highlands
