This image shows a printed notice displayed on the door of a charity shop in the village of Martock, Somerset, clearly stating “We do not accept any electrical items.” The sign is mounted behind glass within a green-painted wooden door, with the heading “Martock Charity Shop” visible at the top of the notice. Such signage reflects common safety and compliance requirements faced by UK charity shops, particularly around the acceptance of second-hand electrical goods, which can pose risks related to fire safety, product liability, and PAT testing regulations. Many small, volunteer-run charity shops choose not to accept electrical donations due to the cost and responsibility of testing and certification. Images like this are frequently used to illustrate themes including charity retail, donation restrictions, health and safety, voluntary sector operations, and the realities of running community-based shops in rural English villages. The straightforward, utilitarian design of the notice emphasises clarity and compliance over branding, a typical feature of small local charities. The photograph is suitable for editorial use in contexts relating to UK charity shops, high street change, community volunteering, retail regulation, and consumer safety awareness.
