As finances are squeezed more and more people are turning to charity shops to buy all manner of items.

And the shame associated with buying clothes and goods from charity stores is no longer felt as a new survey has revealed.

Hard-up Brits are no longer embarrassed about being seen buying from charity shops.

Nearly three-quarters (73 per cent) of UK adults say they are comfortable seen heading into a charity shop due to the cost-of-living crisis, according to research from SQLI Digital Experience.

Charity shopping no longer carries a stigma for many

Study shows 24 per cent of people would be in any way ashamed being spotted in a charity shop.

It comes as more than 77 per cent who are shifting towards pre-loved goods are doing so to save money.
