UK charity shop profits plummet as secondhand trade moves online

برطانیہ میں چیریٹی شاپس کا منافع گر گیا، سیکنڈ ہینڈ کاروبار آن لائن منتقل

ब्रिटेन में चैरिटी दुकानों का मुनाफ़ा गिरा, सेकंडहैंड कारोबार ऑनलाइन गया

UK charity shop profits plummet as secondhand trade moves online

Key points

اہم نکات

मुख्य बातें

  • Profits at Britain's charity shops are falling sharply as shoppers increasingly buy and sell secondhand clothes on online platforms such as Vinted and Depop instead of donating their best items.
  • Oxfam's retail profit fell 23 percent to £4.9 million in its latest financial year, down from £6.4 million a year earlier, while the British Heart Foundation reported a retail loss and plans to close about 150 shops over two years.
  • UK spending on secondhand clothing has roughly quadrupled in a decade to £8.8 billion, but charity shops say they now receive lower-quality donations, and the price of unsold textile 'rag' has fallen from around 37p a kilogramme five years ago to about 9p today.
  • برطانیہ کی چیریٹی شاپس کا منافع تیزی سے گر رہا ہے، کیونکہ خریدار اب اپنی بہترین سیکنڈ ہینڈ کپڑے عطیہ کرنے کے بجائے ونٹڈ اور ڈیپاپ جیسے آن لائن پلیٹ فارمز پر بیچ رہے ہیں۔ آکسفیم کا ریٹیل منافع تازہ ترین مالی سال میں 23 فیصد گر کر 49 لاکھ پاؤنڈ رہ گیا، جو ایک سال پہلے 64 لاکھ پاؤنڈ تھا، جبکہ برٹش ہارٹ فاؤنڈیشن نے ریٹیل نقصان بتایا اور دو سال میں تقریباً 150 دکانیں بند کرنے کا منصوبہ بنایا ہے۔ برطانیہ میں سیکنڈ ہینڈ کپڑوں پر خرچ ایک دہائی میں تقریباً چار گنا بڑھ کر 88 کروڑ پاؤنڈ تک پہنچ گیا ہے، لیکن چیریٹی شاپس کا کہنا ہے کہ اب انہیں کم معیار کے عطیات ملتے ہیں، اور نہ بکنے والے کپڑے کی قیمت پانچ سال پہلے 37 پنس فی کلو سے گر کر آج تقریباً 9 پنس رہ گئی ہے۔ بڑھتے اخراجات، بشمول آجر کے نیشنل انشورنس میں اضافہ، دباؤ اور بڑھا رہے ہیں۔
  • ब्रिटेन की चैरिटी दुकानों का मुनाफ़ा तेज़ी से गिर रहा है, क्योंकि खरीदार अब अपने सबसे अच्छे सेकंडहैंड कपड़े दान करने के बजाय विंटेड और डिपॉप जैसे ऑनलाइन मंचों पर बेच रहे हैं। ऑक्सफ़ैम का खुदरा मुनाफ़ा ताज़ा वित्तीय वर्ष में 23 प्रतिशत गिरकर 49 लाख पाउंड रह गया, जो एक साल पहले 64 लाख पाउंड था, जबकि ब्रिटिश हार्ट फ़ाउंडेशन ने खुदरा घाटा बताया और दो साल में लगभग 150 दुकानें बंद करने की योजना बनाई है। ब्रिटेन में सेकंडहैंड कपड़ों पर ख़र्च एक दशक में लगभग चार गुना बढ़कर 8.8 अरब पाउंड तक पहुंच गया है, लेकिन चैरिटी दुकानों का कहना है कि अब उन्हें कम गुणवत्ता वाले दान मिलते हैं, और न बिकने वाले कपड़े की कीमत पांच साल पहले 37 पेंस प्रति किलो से गिरकर आज लगभग 9 पेंस रह गई है। बढ़ती लागतें, जिनमें नियोक्ता राष्ट्रीय बीमा में वृद्धि भी शामिल है, दबाव और बढ़ा रही हैं।

Rising costs, including higher employer National Insurance contributions, are adding to the pressure.
