South Oxhey shop hits landmark |
| Friday, 05 March 2010 |
 Staff and volunteers from the Peace Hospice''s South Oxhey shop have been in celebratory mood after raising over £1/2 million for the charity since it began trading just over 2 years ago.
The shop based in St Andrews Road, South Oxhey sells a wide range of products including furniture,toys and clothes.
Hospice Director of Fundraising and Communications, Paul Gauntlett said ‘It’s a tremendous achievement that the shop has managed to raise such a large amount of money in such a short space of time. The money raised helps to ensure our patients and their families receive a high quality of care, who live not only in South Oxhey but across South West Herts’.
Shop Manager Gary Couper said ‘This is quite a landmark for us. I have a great team, and our volunteers have been fantastic. I would like to thank everyone including our customers for supporting us’.
The Peace Hospice, based in Watford, cares for people living with a life limiting or terminal illness and supports their families from across South West Hertfordshire. It provides inpatient care, day care, an outpatient service, a hospice at home service as well as bereavement support.
The Hospice needs to raise £3 million of charitable income this year in order to run and develop its services. All the care that the Hospice provides to its patients and their families is free.
The Peace Hospice is currently looking for volunteers to help in its shops. If you are interested in finding out more, please contact Jan Rees on 01923 330346 or email her by clicking here
