Shop Pre-Loved with Queenscourt Retail this Summer! 

If you’re looking to refresh your wardrobe over the coming summer months, why not visit our Queenscourt Hospice Charity Shops and explore our fantastic pre-loved clothing range.

With ‘thrifting’ becoming more popular than ever, Queenscourt Retail offers the perfect opportunity for those across West Lancashire, Southport and Formby to bag a bargain whilst supporting our charity, and also being kind to the planet.

Shopping pre-loved has a whole range of benefits, including becoming more environmentally friendly, supporting your local community and cutting down on your spending.

Sustainability

Buying pre-loved helps to reduce the number of unwanted items that end up in landfill, and you are also supporting a much-loved local charity that relies on the generosity of our wider community in order to continue providing exceptional compassionate care for local people with life-limiting illnesses.

By donating your old or unwanted items, you are ensuring the viability of our charity shops, so that we always have a variety of stock for our customers to choose from.

If you purchase an item from one of our shops, make sure to tag us on social media and use the hashtag #QueeniesFabFinds.

Shopping Online

Did you know that Queenscourt Retail now has an online store? Last year, we launched our brand new website, which sells a range of goods including cards for every occasion and our very own Queenscourt Hospice merchandise.

We also have a successful eBay store and are grateful to receive donations that are truly unique or collectable*, so that we can sell them on there. This ranges from designer clothing, and video games to vintage bric-a-brac items. To shop via our eBay store please visit www.ebay.co.uk/usr/qchretail

*When you donating items to our shops that are of higher value or are more unusual or unique, please inform the Duty Manager that you have an item that may be more suitable for eBay

Volunteering

Our Retail Volunteers are at the heart of everything we do. From meeting, greeting and assisting customers, to listing on eBay and keeping the shop stocked and tidy – there is something for everyone to get involved with.

If you would like to volunteer in one of our shops or help with Queenscourt eBay, please email volunteers@queenscourt.org.uk

Jodie Lovelock, Area Retail Manager at Queenscourt, said: “Queenscourt Retail provides a vital source of income for Queenscourt Hospice, and we have been delighted by the support that we continue to receive from both regular and new customers.

“We love seeing our customers showcase their pre-loved purchases on social media, hopefully inspiring others to do the same!
