We’re lucky to receive a range of high-quality donations, from amazing bric-a-brac to unique jewellery, stylish men’s and ladies clothing and all sorts of accessories.

Our shops help to fund our cancer support centres, which offer professional counselling, complementary therapies, activities, support groups and courses to help people through their cancer journey.

Our centre in Chandler’s Ford is less than a 35-minute drive from Portchester, and we have centres in Bournemouth, Hythe and the Isle of Wight. We offer a range of in-person and online services for all our clients and you can learn more by visiting your local centre.
