ST CUTHBERT’S HOSPICE Meadowfield Furniture & Homeware Store celebrates its 10th birthday on September 10 with a 10% off sale on all items, tombola and coffee morning.
The charity store which raises funds for local Durham-based charity St Cuthbert’s Hospice was opened in 2014 at 12A Oakway Court, Meadowfield Industrial Estate, Durham.
The store is running 10% off everything during their birthday week from September 9-14.
“It’s the people and volunteers who make our shop.
Malcolm Rennie, Store Manager
Every day is different, and we get so many amazing donations from our local community.
We have lots of regular customers, and some are just finding us for the first time.
We’ve sold some memorable items in the last year alone, including a giant table tennis table, a beehive and electric bikes.
Over the last few years, we have also sold items to the production company filming Vera in the region, where a room in the show was furnished with items from our store.
The store is stocked entirely by donations from people in our local community, their generosity over the last 10 years is incredible.”
“A recent sale which sticks in my mind is a couple who bought a cot for their first child, and we’ve celebrated so many other life moments with our customers, like people buying their first sofa for a new house.
Allison Younger, Retail Assistant
We’ve seen some great upcycling projects over the years too, where customers share their before and after photos with us.
We’ve had customers furnish whole student rentals in Durham and even Airbnb’s with items from the store!”
Visit the store at 12A Oakway Court, Meadowfield Industrial Estate, DH7 8XD, open 9am – 4pm Monday to Friday, and Saturdays 9am-1pm.
