Shops launched with all profits to charity
International humanitarian charity Penny Appeal has officially launched its new ‘99p’ stores in Birmingham and the northern cities of Bradford and Manchester. The new shops are aimed at helping people
save money on household essentials and save lives at the same time. They also act as community hubs and regional bases for volunteers, as well as a donation point where people can contribute to campaigns and even drop off unwanted items, like clothing and old laptops. The Penny Appeal shops will sell a variety of
products, from food to toiletries, cleaning materials to stationery, with all profits going on to support the charity’s work. Each shop features a dedicated ‘Donation Zone’, enabling passers- by to give towards the charity’s projects. At the ribbon cutting ceremony in Birmingham, Penny Appeal chairman Adeem Younis said: “We are attempting to redefine what a charity shop should look like, where
Abdullah Rahman, chairman of non-profit organisation Balsall Heath Forum, and Adeem Younis cut the ribbon at the opening of the Penny Appeal shop in Ladypool Road
customers can buy everyday products for 99p with 100 per cent of profits going to the charity. “It is a great opportunity for Penny Appeal to reach out to local donors in Birmingham.”
