We held our South Asian Fashion Edit launch event yesterday to mark South Asian Heritage Month and what a beautiful celebration it was! 🧡

A huge thank you to Gurdwara Sahib in Woolwich and Guru Nanak Darbar Sikh Temple in Erith for their incredibly generous clothing donations. Your support helped make this event so special.

This edit is about more than just beautiful clothes. It’s about representation, inclusion and breaking down the idea that charity shops aren’t for everyone. We’re proud to celebrate the richness and diversity of our community and to show that everyone is welcome here.

The fashion edit will be in store until Tuesday, so pop by our Centre Broadway shop this weekend if you can. There are some absolute gems waiting for you.

On Tuesday 5 August, we’re hosting a special day for children and families whose loved one died under the care of our hospice.

It’s a gentle, supportive space filled with creative activities, connection and care, helping children express their grief and letting parents and loved ones know they’re not alone.

Spaces are very limited so if you know a family who might benefit, please inform them to reach out to our counselling team on 020 8320 5833 or 020 8320 5811 to RSVP.

What a night!

Yesterday we celebrated 7 incredible years of our Compassionate Neighbours at Community Hospice and it was such a heartwarming evening 🧡

From touching speeches and well-deserved recognitions to delicious food and wonderful company, the event was a true reflection of the kindness and connection at the heart of this programme.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along, especially the Community Members who joined us. Your presence made it even more special.

Here’s to many more years of compassion and community 🧡
