Today's Gap Finder is the founder of Thrift+ Joe Metcalfe. Joe set up Thrift+ in 2017 because he believed charity shoppers should have the same quality shopping experience as regular shoppers. Thrift+ is different to other second-hand clothes sites because they do the work for you, taking photos and putting items up for sale on the site, and you can donate some or all of the money made to charity. Since setting up in 2017 Thrift+ has generated 拢1 million pounds for charity. With some studies suggesting that second-hand clothes shopping will eventually overtake fast-fashion purchases in the coming years Winifred Robinson talks to Joe about his model and whether it can cope with the demand. PRESENTER: WINIFRED ROBINSON PRODUCER: CATHERINE EARLAM
