The charity Willen Hospice will be opening a brand new clearance outlet in Stacey Bushes later this week.
The new outlet is set to open on Thursday 15 January, which Willen Hospice announced as, “a vital step in helping to fund our care services for local people.”
Every item will be priced at just £1, £3 or £5 with a great selection of women’s and men’s clothing and homewares on offer. The shop will also feature a concession from Off The Record, the charity’s hugely popular independent music store based in central Milton Keynes.
Opening day is set to take place next Thursday from 9.30am, with the new store sitting at the front of Stacey Bushes Trading Centre on Erica Road, in a location with free parking.
Ian Palmer, Associate Director of Retail at Willen Hospice, said, “This isn’t just another shop – it’s a game-changing clearance concept that’s new to Milton Keynes and new to Willen Hospice. We’re giving unsold items one last chance to find a home before recycling, creating a bold, sustainable retail experience that combines affordability, innovation and impact. By shopping there, your cash will help to keep ourwill help to keep our life-changing care completely free of charge for patients. This new outlet is all about making a big impact through small prices.”
Providing expert care services for local people with a life-limiting illness costs the Hospice £11 million each year. Ongoing NHS funding covers only 12.7% of this, so the Hospice’s shops are one of its most important and reliable sources of income. Through shopping sustainably, customers are directly helping care for patients and their families across Milton Keynes.
The outlet will follow on from the hugely successful launch of the Hospice’s new, larger Stony Stratford shop in November. Two more new shops are opening soon – in Oxley Park later in January and Brooklands in February.
