Overview
- Scope says 73 shops have already shut with four more confirmed next, progressing toward a plan to close 77 of 138 stores by the end of March 2026.
- Fifty-four jobs have been cut as part of the restructuring designed to curb an ongoing financial deficit.
- Latest accounts for the year to March 2025 report income of £44 million against £52.9 million in spending, marking a sixth straight year of operating losses and a five-year reserves fall from £42.7 million to £26.4 million.
- The charity estimates savings of about £4 million in 2025–26 from shop closures and roughly £1.9 million from job reductions.
- Scope confirmed local closures in Morden, Torquay and Washington on 6 December and says it will support staff and volunteers, as the sector sees similar moves from Cancer Research UK toward a smaller core chain and more out-of-town superstores.
