But like you said, this is the first time that these charities have come together to actually show the impact that they're having on the community.
How exciting was that for them?
Because how big of a feat was it to get these charities together?
Because it's quite amazing the fact that they freely shared all sorts of data from sales to employment and profit.
data confidentially to um and organizations because we're we're very excited about understanding the total impact we all had our little snippet of course but just to really understand what that looks like as a whole and when i was looking at this report the data that was given from charities it covers about 60 of charity op shops in the country are you guys looking when you do the next report to expand that and try and get more of a scope of those charities
Let's have a look at some of this data because I was reading through the report and I think naturally as someone who's not in the charity space, you kind of expect that charities have such a big impact on the community.
But when you look at it, I mean $310 million, that's how much was sold through op shops and second-hand goods.
$78 million, that's contributed to social and environmental purposes.
You know, did you expect these figures to be so impactful?
Are there any figures that really stand out for you
What are charities hearing from the communities about the sort of impact that these op shops have had on them and them putting that money back into the community?
What do those charities and op shops and communities need to help keep making the impact that they are having right now?
But what's popular at op shops these days?
Charitable Reuse Aotearoa's impact study found that out of the 46.9 million secondhand items resold in 2025 to 2026, clothing and textiles were the most popular, with 22.6 million items sold.
This was followed closely, though, by household and homewares, where 22 million pieces found a new home.
That includes things like furniture, large appliances, toys and games.
Op shops also resold 2.2 million building and hardware items, like wood and timber products.
The numbers speak for themselves as to how much stock runs through these shops, but I wasn't going to pass up the opportunity to go and check it out for myself.
So I made the trip to Mercy Hospice shop in Ponsonby in Auckland to talk to Briar Wakelin, the retail manager for Mercy Hospice, and asked her what's on their shelves.
And do you have any other, like any items that aren't quite as popular?
