We are saddened to announce that we will not be renewing the lease on our charity shop in Chester-le-Street when it expires in June and the shop will close on Friday 2 May 2025.
It is important that all of our shops make a financial contribution to enable our team to deliver hospice care of the highest standard to our patients and those important to them – now and in the future. Unfortunately, this isn’t the case with our shop in Chester-le-Street which is why we have chosen not to renew the lease.
The shop will continue to operate as usual until 4pm on Friday 2 May, so please continue to support with donations and custom.
Willow Burn will continue to operate shops in Consett and Stanley, as well as online stores on eBay, Vinted and Depop and is committed to developing retail as an income stream for the hospice.
A huge thank you to our wonderful team of staff and volunteers, customers and donors for their commitment to the shop over the years – we are incredibly grateful for the difference you have made to hospice care in Derwentside.
