I love charity shop finds and over the years I have found some amazing things! Whether it is an item of clothing or some home decor, shopping from charity shops can help you to lower your carbon footprint and sometimes even save money. These days there are lots of online charity shops so I have put together a list of them.
British Heart Foundation
The British Heart Foundation fund around £100 million of research into all heart and circulatory diseases per year. This includes the things that cause them including strokes, vascular dementia and diabetes.
The British Heart Foundation have charity shops in lots of high streets, but did you know that they also offer three ways to shop with them online?
You can choose to visit their eBay store, buy new items from their online gift shop or visit them on Depop.
Online charity shops – Sense
Sense is the national disability charity and their mission involves supporting everyone who is deafblind or has complex disabilities. They believe that everyone should be able to take part in life, no matter their disability.
Sense have a very small online charity shop where at the moment you can only purchase Christmas cards.
Their Christmas cards come with free postage.
Cancer Research
Cancer Research are one of the most well-known charities in the UK, and their mission is to beat cancer by funding scientists, doctors and nurses. They also provide cancer information to the public.
Cancer Research have 4 ways to shop with them, offering a variety of online charity shops.
Cancer Research can be found on ASOS Marketplace, an eBay store, a Depop store and their designer collection can be seen on Vestiaire Collective.

Oxfam is another well known charity, and their goal is to combat poverty across the world.
Oxfam have one of the biggest online charity shops that I have seen, with a range of products across books, fashion, entertainment, homewares and their own creations. Standard delivery is £3.95.
Their prices are very reasonable too – I’ve spotted a White Stuff dress for £9.99, Hobbs wool dress for £19.99 and a Boden dress for £9.99.
Sue Ryder
Sue Ryder supports people who are living with a terminal illness, a neurological condition or who have lost someone.
They offer three ways to shop with them online – their online store, eBay store or on Depop.
The Air Ambulance
The Air Ambulance Service operates the national Children’s Air Ambulance and the local air ambulance services for Warwickshire, Northamptonshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Rutland.
Their vision is clear. To ensure children grow into adults, for adults to live longer and for families to stay together, as bereavement through trauma becomes rare.
You can visit their online shop to shop for new cards and gifts as well as fashion, toys and much more.
