The overall winner will be awarded at a special November event.

Robin Osterley, chief executive of the Charity Retail Association, said: “We have had a fantastic reception to The UK’s Favourite Charity Shop Award so far.

"It has been brilliant to see so many people getting involved to share what makes their favourite charity shop so special."

Mr Osterley highlighted common factors such as friendly staff, a warm welcome, community spirit, sustainable shopping contributions, and shop presentation variety.
