Fundraising
We have to continually fundraise to help cover the running costs of the charity and to ensure that we do not make the poverty of those struggling to live on a low-income worse by asking them to pay for all the items they receive.
We also operate two charity shops. Our Thurso shop at 32A Princes Street has three sales floors and a lift installed for the disabled or infirm. Whilst our Wick shop in Dempster Street currently only has one level, renovation work is however being planned to change this.
All funds raised are used to finance HomeAids charitable work.
We understand how important customers are to our continuous success. This is why we carry out regular surveys to make sure we satisfy our customers.
60% of our customers regularly visit our shops on a weekly basis.
The arrangement of items in the Charity Shop seem to tap into the 'explorer's mind.' People come in regularly in-case they miss a good bargain.
