THE MYTON HOSPICES has a new shop in south Warwickshire – bringing the total to 26.
Its newest store, which will sell donated homewares, electrical items and small pieces of furniture, is located at Alcester Business Centre in Kinwarton Farm Road.
It is the charity’s second shop in Alcester – the other being an established clothing store in the town centre.
The Myton Hospices was helped in its acquisition of the new shop – and its other stores – by Leamington-based Blythe Liggins Solicitors. The legal firm works with the charity on new leases and lease renewals for its shops and is also a long-term supporter of the charity.
Ralph Beevers, head of retail and trading at The Myton Hospices, said: “We have had our town centre shop in Alcester for about six years now, so this new store was a great chance to have another shop in the town with a slightly different offering of stock.
“Being based out of the town centre, it is easy to access for dropping off donations, which are always gratefully received.”
The new Alcester store will be accepting donations of electrical items such as toasters, microwaves and hairdryers. It carries out PAT tests on all donated items to ensure they are safe to use.Nick Watts, principal associate at Blythe Liggins, has worked with the hospice on the leases for its various shops.
He said: “The Myton Hospices is an important charity which we’re proud to support – whether that’s by raising money through fundraising or through championing their ever-growing network of shops by supporting on the legal side of the leases.
“The new shop at Alcester Business Centre is looking smart and I’m sure it will be well supported with quality donations.”
