Read the text "Charity begins at home".
It is said that charity begins at home, and people in the UK seem to have put these
words into practice. Their enthusiasm for helping others shows in the 187,000 charity
organisations that exist in the country. Some of the most famous ones are Oxfam, Age
Concern, the RSPCA, the British Heart Foundation and Marie Curie Cancer Care.

People donate money to charity organisations or volunteer to help them raise money.
Many of these organisations run charity shops. The first charity shop in the United
Kingdom was established by Oxfam in Broad Street, Oxford. Oxfam has the largest
number of charity shops in the UK with over 800 stores.

Charity shops sell goods at very low prices. The items for sale are usually second-hand
and donated by members of the public. These include books, records, CDs, clothes,
accessories, household items, furniture and costumes for special occasions such as
Halloween. There are bargains for everyone! Some charity shops also sell new goods
that are somehow related to the cause they support. In Oxfam stores, for example, you
can find fair trade food and crafts. The staff who work at charity shops are volunteers,
so most of the profits from the sales go towards the charity. In the US, where charity
shops are called thrift stores, this kind of shopping is so popular that it has got it's own
word, it's called thrifting!
