Shopkind Week 2026

Shopkind Week 2026 takes place from 9–15 November, bringing retailers, businesses and communities together to highlight the importance of respect for shopworkers and support efforts to tackle retail crime.

The week is part of the wider Shopkind campaign, which aims to promote positive relationships between retailers, customers and communities while raising awareness of the impact of abuse, violence and theft on shopworkers.

What is Shopkind Week?

Shopkind Week provides an opportunity for retailers to show their support for shopworkers and help raise awareness of the challenges they face.

Retailers can get involved by sharing Shopkind messages, supporting staff and customers to understand the importance of respectful behaviour, and highlighting the work being done across the retail sector to address retail crime.

Get involved

Retailers can find resources and information to help support Shopkind Week, including materials to use in stores and across social media.

The campaign is particularly relevant for independent retailers, who can use the week to show support for their teams and reinforce the importance of creating a safe and welcoming shopping environment.
