Reuse, recycle and retail therapy with Primrose Hospice

We know that saving money and looking after our environment is at the front of many people’s minds in 2023, so we’ve got just one small solution. Why not set yourself a challenge and shop second-hand?

Primrose Hospice & Family Support Centre’s six charity shops across North East Worcestershire are full of hidden gems, not just clothes but homeware, gifts, toys and everything in-between. Our friendly staff and volunteers are always there to help you find what you are looking for, whether that’s for your family or a treat for yourself.

Did you know charity shops stop 339,000 tonnes of textiles from being disposed of each year?

(Source: www.charityretail.org.uk/keystatistics/ ) But we want to do better, which is where you come in. Do you have clothes you don’t wear or books sat unread on a shelf? Donate them to our Primrose shops where they will be sold to generate vital funds to support our community and help the environment.

Ian McRoy, retail manager at Primrose Hospice & Family Support Centre, said: “Our charity shops generate over 27% of our needed income every year.

We simply couldn’t do this without our volunteers and the generosity of our community visiting our shops to donate and purchase items. Thank you.”

Our shops are located in Bromsgrove, Redditch, Kingfisher Shopping Centre, Headless Cross, Rubery and Droitwich Spa.

To keep our services across our hospice and family support centre free to patients and families, we need to raise more than £1.75 million every year. We couldn’t do this without the generosity of our community visiting our shops to donate and purchase items.

We always welcome good quality pre-loved clothing, shoes, household items and entertainment –your donation could be another person’s treasure.
