St Oswald's Hospice Shops
Two charity shops on the High Street — a boutique-feel main shop with clothes and homewares, plus a bookshop with vinyl records. All proceeds support palliative care.
About St Oswald's Hospice Shops
St Oswald's Hospice runs two shops on the High Street: a main shop at 189 High Street with clothes, accessories, and curated homewares that has a modern boutique feel, plus a dedicated bookshop at 161-163 High Street which is particularly popular for its children's corner and vinyl records section. Both are well-curated and regularly restocked — a far cry from the stereotypical charity shop. All proceeds support the hospice's palliative care services across the region.
