We are set to open a brand new shop in Oxley Park on Thursday 5 February – giving residents in south-west MK a new way to support local hospice care while shopping sustainably.
Located in the heart of Oxley Park local centre, the shop will offer high-quality, preloved items at great value. Customers will be able to browse a range of ladies’ and men’s clothing, as well as homewares, with new stock arriving every day.
Through this new shop, we are aiming to create a welcoming, community-focused shopping experience, where we can connect with existing supporters and reach new customers in the area. Everyone is welcome on opening day – Thursday 5 February – from 9.30am.
Ian Palmer, Associate Director of Retail, said,
“This shop brings something fresh to Oxley Park. High‑quality preloved stock, a warm welcome and a clear purpose. Every item we sell helps fund the care local families rely on. It’s a simple way for people to support their community while shopping sustainably.”
It costs us £11 million each year to provide our services, with only 12.7% met by ongoing NHS funding. As a registered charity, we rely heavily on the generosity of our supporters to raise the remaining £9.6 million annually. Every purchase made in the new shop will help fund expert care and support for local people affected by life-limiting illness, ensuring money spent locally stays within the community.
The shop is on Redgrave Drive in Oxley Park local centre, with plenty of free parking available. Opening hours will be 9am-5pm Monday to Saturday and 10am-4pm on Sunday. To keep up to date with shop events and sales, follow Willen Hospice Shops on Facebook and Instagram.
If you’d like to get involved in running the new shop, we are currently looking for enthusiastic volunteers. This is a fantastic opportunity to make a meaningful difference, meet new people and be part of a team. For more information, pop into the shop, call 01908 306998 or apply on our website here.
