Behind the scenes at the Hospice Shop
The Hospice Shop reflects Marlborough Hospice Trust's vision to
have a shop occupying a niche position at the top end of the local
charity shops. It operates efficiently and profitably to
financially support the hospice.
This success is underpinned by careful strategic planning.
As Marlene, Manager of the Hospice Shop explains, “This is not a
traditional ‘opportunity shop’. An ‘op shop’ is primarily set up
to support those in need. Generally the price on donated items is
low and directed towards helping those in need". As a ‘charity
shop’, we are set up specifically to raise funds for hospice. To
do this, staff seek to secure the best return from any donated
article.
“People on lower incomes and people who could afford to buy new,
shop here," says Marlene. Staff pride themselves on a shop which
is clean and well presented.
“If you haven’t visited the store, please drop by and have a
browse around” invites Marlene and her team. The Hospice Shop is
always keen to receive good quality second hand items. It is a
treasure-trove for shoppers looking for that special something for
their home, wardrobe or as a gift for a friend." |
