ML&G Shop

[LondonMix]

Charities sales of clothing not are designed to help poor people afford clothes. They exist to raise money for the specific charitable causes they support. They set the price of the goods at market price (i.e. the most they can sell them for) so they can do the most good for the causes they support.

I wonder if LondonMix has missed out a NOT by accident. I do not think charity shops are meant to provide cheap clothing for poor people but rather to raise money for their particular charity.

I did miss out a 'NOT'. Thanks, edited to reflect what I meant to say all along :)
