Rotherham Hospice Opens New Town Centre Shop!
We’re delighted to announce that our brand-new town centre shop at College Walk (right in between Greggs and Subway at the Rotherham Bus Interchange) is officially open! The doors opened on Friday, September 13th, and we’re already loving the support from the community.
This new shop isn’t just another store—it’s part of Rotherham Hospice’s ongoing effort to bring you an exciting and fresh shopping experience, all while supporting a vital cause. The town centre shop showcases our new retail concept design, first introduced at our Manvers store in August. The idea? To make charity shopping trendy, fun, and sustainable. With second-hand shopping becoming more popular than ever, we’ve designed this space to feel vibrant and contemporary, offering a fantastic selection of clothes, homewares, accessories, and bric-a-brac.
But that’s not all! For those bargain hunters out there, don’t forget that our previous shop on Effingham Street is still open as a clearance and furniture store. You’ll find discounted clothes and preloved furniture at incredible prices—perfect for anyone looking to give great items a second life.
Looking ahead, we’re preparing to launch our largest shop yet at Great Eastern Retail Park. This upcoming superstore will offer an even wider range of clothes and furniture, plus something extra special: a café where you can relax, refuel, and feel part of our amazing community. Keep an eye out for announcements on the opening date!
Here’s what our Director of Fundraising, Debbie Coulson, had to say about our retail plans:
“Our retail development is central to our strategy for expanding our reach and enhancing our fundraising efforts. The new town centre shop and our upcoming hub at Great Eastern Retail Park represent exciting steps forward. We’re delighted to offer a refreshed shopping experience that aligns with current trends and supports our mission. This expansion will enable us to generate essential funds while providing valuable services to our community.”
We want to extend a massive thank you to everyone who’s supported us so far. With every purchase you make, you’re helping us provide crucial care to those who need it most. Together, we’re transforming lives—one shop at a time!
We can’t wait to welcome you to our new shop. Come down, say hello, and see what treasures you might find!
