Our book shop located on Queen’s Road in Leicester is an absolute must for any book lover. It offers a varied selection of non-fiction and fiction along with a dedicated children’s room.
Our shops are all run by Shop Managers but could not operate without our vast network of volunteers and by the generous support of the local community.
By grabbing yourself a great pre-loved bargain to read you are directly helping to support our work, thank you.

Volunteer in our shops
We’re on the lookout for some fantastic volunteers to join us in our shops. If you or somebody you know are a sustainability superstar or are looking for retail/work experience, please consider joining Team LOROS!
From volunteering at LOROS, you'll meet lots of amazing people who will become friends for life, learn more about charity shop retail which is both exciting and rewarding, and you might even pick up a treasured pre-loved item along the way.
We can't do what we do at the Hospice without our incredible network of volunteers and the generous support of the local community. Every donation sorted and tested, every shirt steamed, and every item priced and sold each make a world of difference to our patients and their families.
