We’re delighted to have opened three new charity shops supporting hospice care for both adults and children across Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre.

Our new shop on Clifton Street, Lytham, will support Brian House children’s hospice, and raised more than £900 on its first day!

And our new shops on Whitegate Drive, Blackpool, and Wyre View, Knott End, will supporting our adult services through Trinity.

Together, these three new additions take our total number of shops to 22 across the Fylde coast.

Our communities are so supportive of our work here on the Fylde coast, and our retail service has become renowned for its high quality of donated goods.

We are so pleased to be able to open these new shops in areas where we know the public will be keen to look inside and grab a bargain, or donate their own goods so that we can continue to raise vital funds for hospice care where they live.

Our teams worked incredibly hard to get these stores ready and open in time for the new season, as people are getting ready to change their wardrobes and spruce up after a spring clean. We can’t wait to welcome them into our new stores.

Our shops raise vital funds for the hospice, which provides exceptional specialist hospice care to all who need it on the Fylde coast wherever they are; in the hospice, in hospital or a residential care home, or in the comfort of their own homes.

It costs more than £9 million each year to provide Trinity’s care, and after support from the government, we must still raise £5 million to keep the hospice doors open and its care free of charge to families who need it.

Every single person who visits our shops – whether they are buying something or donating – makes such a difference. We simply wouldn’t be here without them.

The new shops are recruiting for new volunteers to help stock shelves, manage tills and sort donations. Anyone who can spare a little team each week is encouraged to apply as a Retail Volunteer here.
