St Wilfrid’s Hospice has opened the shop in Langney Road.

One of the shop’s first customers Sam Knaves said: “It’s great to use upcycled items and support St Wilfrid’s Hospice by buying from their shops. In fact I found out about this place opening when I bought a small table in one of their other shops. The assistant there told me about some seaside-themed accessories that would be available in the new home store, so I came along with my mum this morning.”

The Eastbourne resident, who has has recently bought a holiday home in Cornwall, added: “We have spent almost £220, which seems a lot, but I have a whole load of items and it would have cost me at least twice that if I had bought them elsewhere. I am so pleased.”

St Wilfrid’s Hospice supports adults with life-limiting illnesses in and around Eastbourne, Seaford, Hailsham, Uckfield and Heathfield.
