Sharon Gills, Head of Retail, said: “We hope our supporters will be as delighted as we are with our fabulous new store, which is by far the biggest of our charity shops. With many people now buying pre-loved Christmas gifts, this is a perfect time to save money, do your bit for a local charity and be environmentally friendly too.
Hospice in the Weald receives more income through our charity shops than we do from government funding, so all our wonderful supporters, volunteers and those who donate goods really do make such a difference to the work of the Hospice.”
Cllr Peter Fleming, Leader of Sevenoaks District Council, said: “It was an honour to help open this wonderful new store. Reuse is essential to help the District achieve Net Zero, so this new Hospice in the Weald store is a welcome addition to Sevenoaks high street. With Christmas gifts available now and furniture available from the New Year, this store will no doubt be extremely popular with many local residents for some time to come.”
