The hospice’s first shop opened in 1985 in Lichfield. Since then a network of 21 shops has been established across the region.
Thanking volunteers, shoppers and donors, Lynwen Truesdale, Head of Retail for St Giles Hospice, said: “Every St Giles Hospice shop is run by a dedicated Shop Manager who is supported by a friendly and attentive team of volunteers who are happy to help our loyal, returning customers while tending to the needs of our first-time visitors.”
