Ten-year volunteer Paul Hopley has found a unique way to stamp his mark on his volunteering role.
Change in direction
Meet Malcolm – keen fisherman and creator of abstract art oil paintings. The father of four and grandfather of one has also joined Harbour Hospice’ retail team after working in the print industry for 25 years.
Game changer
Meet Wayne – fierce contender on the petanque court, keen gardener and proud grandfather of eight and great grandfather of one. He also volunteers for Harbour Hospice.
Why we do what we do
More than places of trade, our shops provide a connection back to the care we provide, and a social hub for volunteers and the community.
Hospice Retro opens in Birkenhead
Featuring vinyl records, typewriters, art, furniture and more, Hospice Retro is set to open its doors.
Hospice shoppers make life better
When you’re enjoying that tea out of a mug you purchased at a hospice shop, remind yourself of the difference you’ve made!
Lockdown creates new wave of hospice shoppers
A ‘phenomenal’ surge of interest in sustainable shopping has helped reduce the financial impact of the Covid-19 lockdown on Harbour Hospice’s 17 shops, although the future is far from assured.
The “Linen Ladies” recycle for good
Rae Taylor and Adeline Cottier, aka, The Linen Ladies, have a bond of friendship and humour which has seen them through over 8 years of volunteering together.
Every little bit helps
In addition to her regular Hospice shop shift, Valerie cleans and restores all the silver donations to their former glory.
Rewarding roles for shop volunteers
If there is such a thing as an enviable problem, our shops have it. They are so busy that we constantly need more volunteers.
