Hipperholme store open for business
HIPPERHOLME WELCOMED its new Overgate charity shop on Monday.
The Hipperholme store is the 14th and latest charity shop for the Elland hospice in Calderdale.
Tracey Broadbent, Head of Retail at Overgate, said: “We continue to be amazed by the incredible support we receive from the Calderdale community, donating items and spending their money in our shops.
“We are really excited to be opening another charity shop and hope that we can raise even more money to provide the very best care for the people of Calderdale.”
The new store is located at 3 Co-op Parade, Denholme Gate Road, Hipperholme. It sells a range of pre-loved and new donated items including: clothes, accessories, bric-a-brac, small electrical goods, furniture, CDs, books and toys.
All of the money raised by the shop will go directly to Overgate Hospice and fund their vital end of life support for patients.
In 2018 over £1.4million was raised by the fleet of charity shops, the equivalent of providing palliative care for 144 days.
The charity also has shops in Halifax, Elland, Brighouse, Todmorden, Hebden Bridge, King Cross, Ovenden, West Vale and Illingworth.
All of the charity’s shops rely heavily on the support of their 500 strong team of volunteers.
The charity is currently looking for more donations and for people to volunteer at the Hipperholme shop.
