The terms, in plain English

Last updated: June 2026

What are the key terms in one paragraph?

charity-shop.org is a shop window: gift prices reflect typical real costs of care, and donations are made to and processed by World Animal Rescue Network CIC under its own terms. No Gift Aid applies — WARN is a CIC, not a registered charity. Directory listings are checked regularly but can change.

What this site is

charity-shop.org, operated by Charity Shop UK, is a shop window for animal-rescue giving. Gift prices reflect typical real costs of care. Donations are made to and processed by WORLD ANIMAL RESCUE NETWORK CIC (Company no. 17298990) via Stripe Connect or WARN's donate platform, subject to their terms; we are not the recipient of your donation.

How funds are used

You may fund a specific gift tag or give where need is most urgent (unrestricted). WARN directs donations to partner-led rescue work. Where a specific gift is over-subscribed or costs change, funds are applied to closely equivalent care.

Gift Aid

This site does not offer Gift Aid. WARN is a Community Interest Company, not a registered charity — UK Gift Aid does not apply.

Accuracy and directories

Rescue and charity-shop directories are signposts to independent organisations we do not control. Opening hours, accepted items, and URLs can change — verify with the organisation before travelling. Report errors to [email protected].

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Statutory consumer rights take precedence where they apply.

Limits

Content is general information, not veterinary or financial advice. We work to keep the site available and accurate but cannot guarantee either at all times.

These terms are written for clarity. They are not formal legal advice.
