Shoppers in Wells are encouraged to embrace the spirit of giving and thriftiness this Christmas by visiting St Margaret's Hospice Care's charity shop in the city.

The shop offers a range of quality pre-loved goods that promise to add a special touch to festive celebrations without stretching the budget.

From sparkling dresses perfect for Christmas parties to unique secret Santa gifts, dining tables for family feasts, and extra beds for unexpected guests, the hospice's shops in Wells have a wide array of items. Staffed by enthusiastic volunteers and staff, these shops are more than retail outlets; they are vital community hubs where every purchase supports those facing life-limiting illnesses in Somerset.

Spending as little as £25 in one of these hospice shops can make a substantial impact. It enables a hospice nurse to provide an hour of support via the adviceline to a patient's relative. This adviceline is a critical service offered by St Margaret's Hospice Care, operating 24/7, including Christmas. It provides advice and support to patients, families, carers, and health professionals, making a significant difference in their lives.

This Christmas, Wells residents have the opportunity to shop smartly, save money, and simultaneously contribute to their local hospice. By choosing to shop at St Margaret's, they can find festive bargains and support a vital local service.
