'This first-of-its-kind locker supports Scope's vital work': Leeds-based Evri backs Doncaster charity
Leeds-based Evri has installed what is believed to be the first parcel locker inside a charity shop in the UK.
The Evri dropbox locker has been fitted by the parcel delivery company in Scope's Doncaster store on the Thorne Road Retail Park, allowing customers to send and return parcels while visiting the shop.
A spokesman said: “Funds generated through Scope's retail network help support the charity's work towards disability equality, including its free disability helpline which provides information and support to disabled people and their families across the UK.”
Hassan Dahag, head of lockers at Evri Group, said: “We’re focused on making it easier than ever for people in Doncaster to support Scope. This first-of-its-kind locker not only adds convenience for parcel users but also helps drive footfall into the store, supporting the local high street and Scope’s vital work.”
Angus Duncan, shop manager at Scope charity shop Doncaster, said: “It makes things much easier for customers who are dropping off donations or searching for hidden gems, as they can post parcels at the same time without making an extra trip.”
