North West Hospice opens charity shop

NORTH West Hospice officially opens its new charity shop at Quay Street, Sligo on Thursday at midday.

The unit is situated near to Gary’s Cycles and next door to the Polish shop. Ocean FM will be broadcasting live from the shop, there will a free draw for all customers, spot prizes and bargains galore with lots of fabulous pieces of furniture, clothing and household goods to buy in the new shop on the day

North West Hospice is still appealing to the local community for donations of good quality furniture for their new shop. The shop is the first venture of its kind for North West Hospice in Sligo and follows on from the opening of its first Charity Shop in Carrick-on-Shannon in July 2017.

Nuala Ginnelly, North West Hospice Manager said: “We are so excited about this new venture in Sligo. A huge amount of work has gone into preparing the shop and it is thanks to our wonderful volunteers and donations from the generous people of Sligo we are able to do this.

“The demand for North West Hospice Services is increasing annually as is the cost to grow our services to meet this demand. The aim of this new Charity Shop venture is to help us raise the vital funds needed to fund our growing services.”

North West Hospice provides specialist care with compassion to those living with life-limiting illness in Sligo, Leitrim, South Donegal and West Cavan.
