Lewis-Manning Hospice Care Shop enjoys re brand and launch!

Sep 25, 2020

The Lewis-Manning Hospice Care charity shop in Wimborne has reopened following a shop frontage refitting with the hospice’s updated branding.

Shop Manager Jill Holden said, “We were thrilled to finally be opening again after lockdown and delighted that we were proudly doing so with a rebrand to the shop frontage, which includes the charity’s new sunflower logo. It has definitely helped us grab attention with shoppers.

“We would urge shoppers to pop by and say hello, we’re really enjoying being back in business in Wimborne! We’ve got some fabulous stock too, which was very generously donated following our very successful drive through ‘Donation Stations’ campaign during the summer.

“On the first day of business last week we took an incredible £1,784 in just 5 hours of opening and £3,468 over the week, it’s a very promising start and return to business for us.

“We are accepting donations on Wednesdays and are available for house clearances too.  We also have volunteer opportunities in our shops in Wimborne, Westbourne, Christchurch and Poole.  If anyone is interested in becoming a part of our retail volunteer team we would urge them to get in touch enquiries@lewis-manning.org.uk “
