As part of their 25th anniversary celebrations, the Charity Retail Association (CRA) hosted a spectacular Gala Dinner and Awards Ceremony at the prestigious Haberdashers’ Hall in London. The evening brought together charity retail professionals from across the UK to celebrate the incredible achievements of the sector — from the vital income raised through charity shops for their parent charities to their significant contribution to the circular economy.

My event photography captured the essence of the night: the elegant atmosphere, inspiring speeches, joyful award moments, and the vibrant community spirit that defines the charity retail sector.
