Kilo sale to turn clothes into care for Worcester hospice

A HOSPICE is holding its first ever kilo sale in Worcester to raise funds for its care of patients and loved ones.

The St Richard’s Hospice end-of-season kilo sale will take place in the hospice building, at Wildwood Drive on Saturday May 17 from 10am to 3pm.

Bargain hunters will have the opportunity to browse more than 3,000 items of autumn/winter clothing and two tonnes of accessories sold by the weight at £10 per kilo.

Anyone is welcome to attend the event with pre-booking essential for those wishing to get their hands on the full range of items available in the sale ‘power hours’ from 10am to 11am and 11am to 12pm.




Hospice spokesperson Dan Corns said: “Our charity shops have been turning clothes into care for decades so we’re hoping our first ever kilo sale will do more of the same while helping us manage end-of-season autumn/winter clothing and accessories which haven’t sold in our stores to date.

“Whether you’re new to kilo sales or a regular, join us to browse, weigh, then pay—three simple steps to update your wardrobe while being kind to your pocket, our patients and the planet.”


St Richard’s Hospice is an independent charity offering free, expert care for adults with an illness that cannot be cured, and support for their loved ones and carers.

Each year the hospice team supports more than 3,100 patients, family members and bereaved people in Worcestershire.

It will cost in the region of £12 million to run the hospice this year, which includes patient care and all the necessary support services.
