APPENDIX 1 Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the financial period	1. Deter the public from purchasing counterfeit goods.
	2. Educate consumers on the inherent dangers of acquiring illicit items. 3. Inform individuals on how to safeguard themselves against fraud. What is The Fake Shop? Given the rise in High Street vacancies, there is no shortage of potential venues for this initiative. The charity proposes repurposing empty storefronts in partnership with local authorities, Trading Standards, the Police, and other key stakeholders. Once outfitted with standard retail fittings, these shops display a vast assortment of counterfeit products. While they appear to be for sale, these items feature warning labels instead of price tags, revealing the truth behind consumer scams and the hidden risks of "knock-offs." Inside the shop, visitors can engage with informative storyboards that detail the darker side of the industry—from how criminal networks reinvest profits into further illegal activity to the tragic story of a child killed by a faulty, counterfeit phone charger. To provide a comprehensive experience: • Educational leaflets are distributed to all visitors. • Trained volunteers are available to offer expert advice and discuss specific local concerns, such as an influx of fake cosm
