We couldn’t do it without our volunteers , they are the heart of everything we do. Of our incredible team of 1,400 volunteers, more than 1,000 support our shops - sorting donations, styling displays, serving customers, and keeping things running day in, day out. Whether you’re 18 or 80, every hour you give helps provide real hospice care for real people. You’re not just giving your tim - you’re making the difference. And there are so many ways to get involved, even if you only have a few hours to spare each month. You could: • Help out at fundraising events • Be a compassionate neighbour • Or even become a trustee • However you choose to volunteer, you’ll be part of something bigger - helping us make every moment matter.

of charity shops landscape
Charity Shops in a New Era Retail has transformed. Online shopping is booming. Big brands have come and gone. But charity shops? They’re thriving but we can only do it with your support - blending fashion, purpose, and community like never before. Here’s what’s driving the change: • Conscious shoppers: More people are choosing second-hand to reduce waste and shop ethically. • Visual storytelling: We’re not quite a boutique, but you might just leave feeling like you’ve found one. From quirky to quality, our shelves are full of surprises. Every item sold helps fund our care. It’s circular fashion with a real purpose.
A scarf could pay for a healthy meal for one of our patients A bag of clothes could help fund a nurses visit to see a patient at home A sofa could help fund a bereavement session for one of our families
The power of preloved: why charity shops matter more than ever High streets are changing. So are we. But one thing stays the same - every time you support our shops, you help local people get the expert care they need, when they need it most. Step inside any of our Keech Hospice charity shops and you’ll find more than a bargain. You’ll find community, sustainability, and a powerful connection to the compassionate care we provide to children and adults with life-limiting conditions.
From the people who donate, to the volunteers behind the counter, to the customers who walk through the doors - everyone is part of the care we provide. “
