A new, expansive hospice store has opened in Shepshed, Leicestershire, dedicated to supporting Rainbows Hospice for Children and Young People. This marks the hospice's largest retail location and its first to feature furniture among its offerings.
The store, located on Armstrong's Mill, Charnwood Road, has already received significant community support since donations began a few weeks prior. This initiative is crucial for Rainbows, which needs to raise £8.5 million annually towards its £10.2 million operational budget for specialized palliative and end-of-life care services.
Rainbows operates eleven stores, which are vital for its fundraising strategy. These shops serve as public showcases, allowing visitors to learn about the hospice's work, potentially sign up for the lottery, and make purchases. The income generated is pivotal for sustaining the hospice's essential services.
