A brand-new charity shop offering homeware, small furniture and more has officially opened its doors in Alcester. 

The Myton Hospices has just opened its newest store at Alcester Business Centre in Kinwarton Farm Road. 

The store will sell donated and preloved homewares, electrical items and small pieces of furniture. 

It is the charity's second shop in Alcester with the other being an established clothing boutique which is based in the town centre. 

Ralph Beevers, head of retail and trading at The Myton Hospices, said: "We have had our town centre shop in Alcester for about six years now, so this new store was a great chance to have another shop in the town with a slightly different offering of stock. 

"Being based out of the town centre, it is easy to access for dropping off donations, which are always gratefully received."

The legal business works with the charity on new leases and lease renewals for its shops and is also a long-term supporter of the charity. 

The new Alcester store will be accepting donations of electrical items including toasters, microwaves and hairdryers. 

The store carries out its own PAT testing so Mr Beevers said it is able to accept "almost anything with a plug". 

As well as the two Alcester stores, The Myton Hospices also has shops in locations including Leamington, Stratford, Warwick, Rugby, Southam, Kenilworth, Nuneaton and Henley-in-Arden.

Nick Watts, principal associate at Blythe Liggins, has worked with the hospice on leases for a number of its shops. 

He said: "The Myton Hospices is an important charity which we’re proud to support whether that’s by raising money through fundraising or through championing their ever-growing network of shops by supporting on the legal side of the leases.

"The new shop at Alcester Business Centre is looking smart and I’m sure it will be well supported with quality donations."
