The Prince & Princess of Wales Hospice has opened its largest charity shop on Glasgow's Sauchiehall Street, selling pre-loved fashion, books and homeware.
The Prince & Princess of Wales Hospice has opened its largest charity shop at 261 Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow city centre on Friday, 30 October. The shop stocks contemporary and vintage clothing, books, homeware and bric-a-brac across multiple levels, with a dedicated menswear section and a book nook downstairs.
The opening expands the hospice's retail presence in the city centre, joining existing shops on Queen Street, Union Street, Oswald Street and an outlet at the Charity Super.Mkt in Buchanan Galleries. Angela Renton, retail operations manager at the hospice, said the team looked forward to working with local students, businesses and organisations on pop-up events and collaborations. The shop's design incorporates reused materials and fittings from previous tenants.
The shop features Worthwhile Wardrobe, a circular fashion initiative developed in partnership with the University of Glasgow's Adam Smith Business School. The scheme offers high-end donated clothing and encourages customers to return eligible items in exchange for discounts on future purchases. The hospice provides specialist palliative care to people across Glasgow, supporting more than 1,200 new patients and their families each year. All shop proceeds support this work, with the hospice's retail and income-generation activities raising more than £7.2 million annually. The shop is open Monday to Saturday from 10.30am to 5.30pm and Sundays from 11.30am to 4.30pm.
