The generosity of donors and shoppers plays a crucial role in supporting our community, enabling more local people living with a terminal diagnosis to receive the specialist end of life care they need.  Our charity shops raise vital funds for Birmingham Hospice.  Our retail operation is a community-based shopping experience with over twenty successful shops in our portfolio, that are of the highest standard and are vibrant, inspiring and value for money.
