Grand Opening of new Ludlow Charity Shop Announced
Will you join us to celebrate our newest charity shop?
We are excited to announce the opening date for our new Ludlow charity shop.
The shop will officially open to the public on Thursday 26th February at 10.00am and represents our first retail presence in Ludlow. This latest addition will bring our retail portfolio to 18 shops and for the first time in St Michael’s history, we expects profits from the retail portfolio to exceed the funding the Hospice receives from Government in the coming financial year.
About the shop
Located on Ludlow Business Park, we are transforming this former warehouse unit into a spacious and welcoming retail space. Like our other popular ‘Home & Living’ locations, this shop will offer a variety of pre-loved goods, including furniture, homeware, clothing, books and media.
Conveniently located just off the A49, Ludlow Home & Living will open seven days a week. It includes a separate Donation Centre open six days a week (Tuesday-Sunday) to allow customers to drop off donated goods.
In addition to raising vital income, the Ludlow shop will play an important role in helping raise awareness for the care and support the Hospice provides, while encouraging the local community to connect, donate and shop sustainably.
“We are delighted to announce the opening date for our new shop opening in Ludlow,” said Rachel Jones, the Hospice’s Income Generation, Marketing & Communications Director.
“The warmth and encouragement we have already received from the local community has been wonderful, from the new volunteers who have signed up to join us, to the many positive messages shared online. It means a great deal to be able to share this milestone with our supporters and we can’t wait to start welcoming customers.
“Our team is working hard in preparation for the opening- we cannot wait to open the doors. Every purchase made in the shop will directly support our patients and their families, while also offering the community affordable and sustainable shopping choices.”
We extend a warm invitation to members of the public to attend the grand opening, with doors opening at 10.00am. If you’re travelling by car, there is limited free parking available outside the shop, and we encourage visitors to car share or use nearby public car parks where possible.
Donations at Ludlow Home & Living
Finally, for customers with items to donate, we’re pleased to share that the Donation Centre at Ludlow will open ahead of the shop on Tuesday 17th February. Our team welcome quality pre-loved donations from the local community and also warmly encourage customers to sign up for Gift Aid if they are eligible.
