The store has stood on Woodborough Road in Mapperley for three decades
A renowned charity shop in the heart of a Nottingham suburb is set to expand its existing space, much to the delight of city shoppers. Nottinghamshire Hospice – a charity that cares for people dying from incurable illnesses – has expanded the upstairs of its shop in Mapperley, after 30 years on the high street.
It is hoped the makeover will bring a further boost to the money raised by sales, as well as giving shoppers more space to browse the charity's wares. Profits go towards caring for people when they need it most – whether that be through the Hospice’s Wellbeing programme, Hospice in Your Home care, or Bereavement Support.
Newly released figures show that Nottinghamshire Hospice cared for 478 patients - and provided a staggering 13,664 hours of care - within a five-mile reach of the Mapperley shop in 2022/23. In 2023/24, the Mapperley Community Shop made enough money to care for 388 nights of care in a patient’s home. In an unveiling ceremony on Friday, August 9, Kathy Page, a nurse from the Hospice’s care team, cut a ribbon to open the new area.
"Money from sales have a direct impact on the care we can provide to our patients, so we’re incredibly grateful to customers who visit our shops – they really are making a difference.” Cheryl Cox, community shop manager at Mapperley, added: “The makeover we’ve had here will make a big difference to our shoppers. I can’t wait for them to see what we’ve done to make the space brighter and friendlier and now we can put out even more of local’s favourite bargains.
The upstairs will now have more homeware, media , linen and books. It will also make it easier for shoppers to browse for their favourite bargains in the brighter, reorganised space.
