Local charity shopping across Scotland is easier than ever thanks to a new partnership between the Salvation Army and the trailblazing Scotland Loves Local Gift Card.
Scottish Salvation Army charity shops are now accepting regional physical and digital Scotland Loves Local Gift Cards across 55 of its locations across Scotland, including in Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Fife, Dundee, Falkirk, Mid Lothian, Renfrewshire and St Andrews.
Over 30 Scotland Loves Local Gift Cards are available for regions across Scotland, with more than 7000 businesses participating and over £18million locked into Scotland through the initiative.
The partnership with the Salvation Army’s trading arm, Salvation Army Trading Company Ltd (SATCoL), further strengthens the retail offering through the Scotland Loves Local Gift Card. Cards can be spent with a variety of big brand and independent stores across Scotland, alongside hospitality, health and beauty, accommodation and services.
Jordan, head of retail North at SATCoL said: “The partnership with the Scotland Loves Local Gift Card initiative aligns well with our commitment to supporting local communities while also making it easier for customers to spend with us. It supports local spending, benefits our customers and operates seamlessly as a standard Gift Card payment.”
Colin Munro, CEO of Miconex said: “As we head towards the 5th anniversary of the introduction of the Scotland Loves Local Gift Card, the card continues to go from strength to strength. It’s the ultimate ‘shop local’ Gift Card, giving the recipient more choice and more support for local than any other Gift Card. The partnership with SATCoL enhances this choice further, helping to make the Scotland Loves Local Gift Card the first choice for consumer gifts and corporate rewards.”
