New Bridgnorth Hope House Children's Hospice Shop on the way
Hope House Children’s Hospices has announced exciting plans to open a new and bigger shop in Bridgnorth town centre.
The charity, which provides vital care and support for local children with life-threatening conditions, has 14 shops across Shropshire, Cheshire and Wales. Together they raise nearly £1 million each year towards the £10 million needed help children and their families to live their best life.
The new Bridgnorth store will open later this year in premises on High Street which was formerly occupied by Bodycare. Work will begin shortly to give the store a makeover and bring the best of the Hope House retail brand to the space.
Head of Retail Lindy Welch-Smart said the new location is twice the size of the charity’s existing shop, and would be generating plenty more volunteering opportunities.
“We already have incredible support in Bridgnorth from people who bring us donations of stock and who shop with us,” explained Lindy.
“This exciting new store will give us much more space to display our pre-loved fashion and homeware.
“It will also be a fantastic environment for our volunteers both old and new, and we are hoping that even more people will be tempted to join our family and help us to run the shop.
“People are changing the way they are shopping and, consequently, we have had some of our best trading weeks on record.
“We are really proud to be investing in Bridgnorth and in our retail operation at this time and are confident that this will help us to raise even more money to fund our vital services for local children and their families.”
The current shop, also on High Street, will continue to remain open for supporters to make donations and shop until the new shop opens later this year.
