Timeless Emporium Opens in Wickersley

After 6 weeks of hard work from our amazing Rotherham Hospice retail staff and volunteers, the new Rotherham Hospice Timeless Emporium opened in the Tanyard, Wickersley on Monday 17^th October.

People were queuing out the door to get in and join the party, with Emmerdale Star Dean Andrews and Rotherham Hospice Ambassador John Breckin cutting the ribbon.

“It’s been a real success this morning and it’s a fantastic turn out from everybody,” John Breckin said after cutting the ceremonial ribbon outside the new Tanyard location.

"Unfortunately it’ll touch everyone at some point, whether it's family or a loved one or a friend. It’s up to us Rotherham people to keep the Hospice going right on our doorstep.”

Rotherham Hospice would like to say a massive thank you to Julie, Shop Manager, and all her wonderful volunteers for getting this shop up and running and making it such an important part of the Rotherham community.

“The shop looks so classy, congrats to Julie and the team for their hard work bringing it all together. It was heart-warming to see so many volunteers and other shop staff supporting Wickersley,” Bill Patterson, Trustee for Rotherham Hospice who attended the shop opening, said.

“It’s turned out fantastic, we’ve been very busy already,” Julie said. “I think it’s going to be good for the Hospice. I think we’re going to raise a lot more money than we did.”

Rotherham Hospice shops are a vital part of fundraising. Rotherham Hospice has to raise £3 million a year to keep our services running, with a £550,0000 target for our retail stores.

When asked what the new Wickersley shop could do for Rotherham Hospice and the Rotherham community, Emmerdale actor Dean Andrews said, “It’s going to raise important money for a great cause and the people of Rotherham are going to benefit from that with more good looking after.”

Rotherham Hospice’s Wickersley shop was previously located on Hastings Court but when the opportunity came to move to a more prominent place in Wickersley, Rotherham Hospice decided to make the move. Rebranding the store as a ‘Timeless Emporium’ the new Wickersley shop has so much to offer, not only boasting an amazing pre-loved collection at great prices to help you through the cost of living crisis, but all of Rotherham Hospice’s amazing new Christmas merchandise.

The Timeless Emporium in Wickersley, along with our shops in Rotherham Town Centre, Dinnington, Wath and Herringthorpe, stocks our beautiful Christmas card selection, Rotherham Hospice 2023 calendars and diaries, and our new red sunflower enamel pins.
