Lewis-Manning Hospice Care is to open a new house clearance shop in Highcliffe.
The retail unit at 288 Lymington Road will be open for business from 10am on Thursday April 25.
The local community is invited to come along to meet the team, enjoy refreshments and look around the new shop.
The hospice’s ninth store is opening due to the ever-growing demand for its house clearance services and sustainable goods as well as the increased need to raise funds for its vital charity services.
Susan Newcombe, Director of Retail, (pictured, centre, with Spencer Davies of MBE Electrical and Olivia Girling, of Lewis-Manning), said: “We are delighted to have secured such a prominent location in this busy part of Highcliffe, with its reputation for being a second-hand searcher’s dream location.
“It’s a great opportunity to let shoppers know about our house clearance and recycling services and how we turn preloved items into extraordinary hospice care for people with life-limiting illnesses and their loved ones across Poole, Purbeck, East Dorset and West Hampshire.
“We’d like to thank the many businesses who have supported us in preparing for our opening, with special mention to Goadsby, Frettens Solicitors, Bradlea Builders, MBE Martin Barker Electrical Ltd, and Shadow Design (Print & Signage).
“Moving, downsizing or house clearing may be a very stressful time, and our aim is to reduce that stress as much as possible.
“We offer flexible, complete or partial house clearances and recycling services.
“If you have any preloved items or goods, we can offset the value of them against the clearance costs.”
“If you have a few hours to spare and would like to be part of the shop team, please have a look at our volunteering roles at lewis-manning.org.uk/volunteer-vacancies.”
Lewis-Manning Hospice Care’s other shops are located in Poole, Ashley Cross, Christchurch, Swanage, Westbourne, Winton, Wimborne and Ringwood.
