Thames Hospice opens a new bigger store in the heart of Gerrards Cross

Today (Friday 26 June), Thames Hospice opened its fabulous new Gerrards Cross store to a large crowd of well-wishers and supporters.

Rosemarie Ford, actress, singer, dancer and television presenter, cut the ribbon at 10am as customers excitedly gathered outside before entering the new shop, beautifully presented with a wealth of preloved gems. Rosemarie Ford was also joined by Thames Hospice Health Care Assistant, Shirley Nicolls.

After ten successful years of trading in Packhorse Road, the new Gerrards Cross store has moved to its new home on the opposite side of the High Street. Annie Campbell, Interim Director of Retail at Thames Hospice, said: “We are delighted that so many familiar and new faces have joined in with the celebrations with us today. The new shop is substantially bigger, and our wonderful team of retail colleagues and volunteers have worked hard over the last few weeks to ensure the store is looking stunning and well-stocked for the opening and beyond.

“The Gerrards Cross community has been so supportive over the last ten years, and we are confident that we will continue to play a key role in local life for many years to come. The new store will allow us to have an even greater range of preloved fashion, homeware and selection of upcycled furniture.”

One of the volunteers attending the opening, Lorene from Gerrards Cross, said: “I’ve been volunteering for Thames Hospice for four years which has been an absolute privilege, and the support and friendship from the team make it such a special place to be. I’m so excited about this fabulous new store. It’s bright, welcoming and full of fantastic finds, whether you’re looking for furniture, homeware or a hidden gem. I hope lots of people will come in, explore the store and get involved.”
