🌟 Volunteer spotlight: Debbie 🌟

Debbie, first noticed our Thames Hospice shops for their welcoming vibe and what began as a casual visit soon turned into volunteering at our busy Dedworth store, alongside her mum.

With years of retail experience, Debbie helps sort donations, steam clothes, stock shelves, and even upcycle clothing and jewellery, giving each item a little extra love. 💛

“Volunteering doesn’t require experience, just a bit of common sense,” she says.

“I took part in the 5k and it was my first ever open water swim event. It was a brilliant challenge and I’m incredibly proud of myself for completing it. The event had such a lovely atmosphere, and the organisation and water safety were excellent, this really helped calm any nerves I had going in. Everyone was so friendly and supportive. I’d highly recommend this event, especially for anyone considering their first open water swim”

Unfortunately, our Dedworth store was broken into overnight.

We’re working closely with Thames Valley Police to ensure everything is safe and secure for our colleagues, volunteers, and customers. We’re incredibly grateful to our local community for your understanding and continued support during this time.

Thanks to the resilience of our amazing staff and volunteers, the shop is open as usual.

Many people believe hospice care is only about the final days of life, but Duncan’s story shows a different side.

About Thames Hospice

Thames Hospice is the local charity providing expert care for people living with life-limiting illnesses in East Berkshire and South Buckinghamshire. A vital part of our work is also supporting their families and carers.

We care for the physical, social and psychological needs of our patients, not just the condition. Our highly skilled medical team works with the patient, their family and carers, to develop a complete programme of care tailored to their individual needs.

Our services include therapy, nursing and medical care, as well as practical and emotional support in our Hospice at Windsor and in patients' homes.

It costs £8 million every year to keep our Hospice running. We rely on our community for over 50% of the funds we have to raise annually to provide our services free of charge, 365 days a year, to the people who need us.
