Rita Langford
Herefordshire
Rita ran a charity shop for years, raising thousands of pounds. When the time commitment became too great she decided to give it up. But, determined to keep on raising money for charity and missing that business buzz, Rita decided to let the shop out to different charities to run it each week. The Kington & District Community Shop has raised £300,000 since it first opened in 2009.
