Story

It is with great sadness that we have to report the theft of our much needed retail vehicle. The loss of this vehicle has had a huge impact on the hospice. We rely on our retail van every day to help to move stock around our shops and collect kind donations from our community. This retail vehicle forms a fundamental part of our retail operations at The Prince of Wales Hospice and we are so saddened to be without it. We estimate to loose over £2,000 each week in vital income which supports our patients and their families.

The impact of the coronavirus has without doubt left a huge hole in our income stream and to have experienced such a huge loss in our retail vehicle in the same year has left us deeply saddened.

Please note that we will endeavour to complete all collections and deliveries already booked with us.
