The Prince of Wales Hospice’s charity shops in Pontefract and South Elmsall have undergone transformations.

It’s hoped the new look will offer a range of benefits to the community, such as a welcoming atmosphere, varied selection, as well as increased community engagement.

Kevin Hogarth, Retail Manager at The Prince of Wales Hospice said: “The Pontefract store, which has been serving its community for the past seven years, needed a more inviting and well-organized space.

“We have introduced a three shops within a shop concept, facilitating dedicated sections for retro, vintage, and urban clothing and accessories.

A statement from the Hospice said of the renovations that "These shops are also focusing on building a sense of community by promoting fundraising events and wellbeing programs that align with the Hospice’s mission. It's not just about shopping; it's about building connections and supporting charitable causes."

The South Elmsall store, which had not seen a refurbishment in over a decade, now is looking better than ever, giving a more pleasant and comfortable experience, Mr Hogarth said.

"Additionally, a grant from Wakefield Council was secured to enhance the shops front appearance, making it more appealing to customers.”
