The unit, at 51 Henry Street, one of the city’s main shopping thoroughfares, was previously occupied by Vodafone. The NCBI has now set up a pop-up charity shop in the unit, under its Re:Newed for NCBI brand, which aims to deliver high-quality stock. Irish Life had previously allowed the charity establish an earlier incarnation of the pop-up shop in one of its units at the bottom of Grafton Street before Christmas. The NCBI is now Ireland’s second-largest charity shop chain, with more than 130 shops nationwide, behind St Vincent de Paul, which has more than 230 retail outlets. NCBI’s shops were closed for 19 weeks in 2020 and a further 19 weeks in 2021.
