Goodstock
The charity's shop by young people, for young people, whose Manchester branch sold the stock of The Empty Shop in 2018.
A programme of the vInspired charity, 2018. Updated on 13 September 2026
What it was
Goodstock was the vInspired charity’s shop “by young people, for young people”: a charity shop with a young team and a young customer base, in Manchester. In April 2018 VIVA Manchester reported that Goodstock was where the stock of The Empty Shop, a pop-up run to help young people in the city, was being sold.
What it did
The shop’s own records did not survive the charity’s closure, and the archive has no Goodstock posts; the coverage is the public account of it.
From the archive
The archive holds no Goodstock posts.

What happened
Goodstock closed with the charity in November 2018. Its address is still linked from the coverage, which is why this page exists.
