Two Trinity Hospice charity shops are celebrating one year of raising smiles and vital money on Fylde coast high streets.

The hospice’s superstore in Cleveleys and its dedicated menswear shop, Attire by Trinity Hospice, in Poulton opened on 31st March last year. And to celebrate these important milestones, they’re celebrating with customers by offering discounts on selected items for one day only.

At Cleveleys in particular, customers can enjoy 50% off all clothing.

The shop on Crescent West was opened by TV personality Cheryl Fergison, best known for her role as Heather Trott in Eastenders.

Cheryl will be visiting the shop again to celebrate its first birthday.

She said: “Sustainable fashion is incredibly important and very popular right now, and local charities like Trinity really need our support right now. As all of our energy bills and petrol prices go up, so are our hospice’s. And if they can’t pay the bills, it’s our families who will suffer.

“Supporting Trinity through its charity shops is such a great way to make a difference to local hospice care. The shops are so welcoming, have some great bargains, and every pound you spend goes back into providing the excellent care we all hope to receive if we need it one day.

“It was an honour to open the new superstore last year, and I’m looking forward to joining the amazing staff, volunteers and customers to celebrate its first birthday.”

Up until the end of January, the Cleveleys superstore had turned over an incredible £254,000. Attire in Poulton had turned over £113,000.

Head of Retail, Paul Guest, said: “We are so proud to be bucking the national trend with our charity shops, bringing in vital money for our charity through top quality donations and sales, giving shoppers a great way to support local charity.

“We’ve had great feedback from our visitors over the last 12 months who love the layout of our shops and the distinctive style and experience we offer. That’s testament to our skilled managers and dedicated volunteers who truly put in the effort every single day.

“We’re delighted to be celebrating our first birthday with our supporters – whether they donate in our shops or come in for a bargain, we simply wouldn’t be here without them.”
