It's Hospice Care Week!

This Hospice Care Week we’re shining a light on our amazing SHOPS!

Did you know that they are absolutely vital to funding our care for patients and their families? In fact they bring in more than £3 million each year – more income than we get from the NHS. Your jeans, jumpers, books and DVDs enable us to be there for patients when they need us most.

So next time you browse for a bargain, or declutter your wardrobe, just consider what a lifeline you are providing for us!

This week we’ll be spotlighting some of our amazing shops:

  • Furniture: From a bed to a wardrobe and everything in between – we can kit out your whole house for much less than Ikea!

  • Spiral Scratch: our music shop on Queens Road has a cult following for its cheap as chips singles, limited edition vinyl and brilliant band t shirts!

  • New store: This week we’re unveiling our exciting new store, opening this November, which is all about sustainable fashion and social conscience. Pre-loved fashion is an environmental winner!
