Vineyard Boutique shortlisted for the UK's Favourite Charity Shop
Community news on behalf of Vineyard Community & Richmond Foodbank | 11 September 2025
Vineyard Boutique is one of the crucial fundraising arms for the Vineyard Community & Richmond Foodbank charity and has been shortlisted among some major names.
The Boutique has made it to the final six shortlisted in the London category, an incredible accolade that recognises the hard work, passion and dedication of the charity shop team.
This shortlist would not have been possible without the dynamic duo Melinda McHugh (Shop Manager) and Hannah Ryland-Brown (Shop Assistant Manager) at the helm, as well as the entire 50 plus volunteer team, all of whom make Vineyard Boutique the wonderful community hub that it is.
The charity supports a wide demographic of local people, including those who are street homeless, vulnerably housed, experiencing food poverty, mental health crisis, abuse, or addiction struggles. Through their numerous services, they seek to connect people with the support they need to transform their lives for the better.
Melinda said “I feel very proud and overwhelmed that Vineyard Boutique, which has only just turned 1, has been shortlisted for this award. I would like to thank all the staff, volunteers, customers and local community for helping to make this happen. We couldn’t have done it with you!”
You can vote for Vineyard Boutique before midnight on 2 October.
