FIND IT FOR A FIVER

Local charity Prospect Hospice is challenging perceptions of charity shops with their new initiative, "Find it for a Fiver". Dismissing stereotypes of drab and cluttered spaces, it invites shoppers to discover affordable treasures while supporting their cause.

Victoria Canavan, head of retail at Prospect Hospice, said: ““When a friend’s birthday is approaching, you might want to get them a gift but feel you can’t afford it, so why not come into the hospice shops and find it for a fiver, instead? We have plenty of gifts just ready and waiting, some pre-loved but some have never been opened.”

With a diverse range of items including gifts, clothing, and toys, the initiative aims to make shopping both affordable and impactful. As Valentine's Day approaches, shoppers can explore unique gift options while also finding stylish outfits at unbeatable prices.

Customers are encouraged to share their discoveries on social media using #fiverfinds, fostering a community of sustainable and charitable shopping. Every purchase from a Prospect Hospice shop directly helps to care for and support local people and families in need.

Join the movement, shop sustainably, and make a difference—all for just £5. Find your nearest Prospect Hospice charity shop at www.prospect-hospice.net/shops
