## Resource

In this episode, Charlotte sits down with Tacha, Hannah, and Gareth from Ethical Boutique and the Safe Foundation in Cardiff, to explore how a charity shop can become a genuine hub for its community. From pay what you feel baskets that make the shop accessible to everyone and their in store café creates a place where people come to connect. Their approach puts people firmly at the centre of everything they do. Together, they share the stories behind their work, from supporting marginalised communities internationally to providing free training and volunteer opportunities closer to home. Tacha, Hannah, and Gareth talk openly about what it means to create a space where everyone feels welcome, and how that sense of belonging translates into real impact for the Safe Foundation's mission.
