Something old, something new... - Princess Alice Hospice

At the Hospice we are dedicated to developing and embedding our Environmental Strategy as part of our Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) commitment. Being aware of our carbon footprint and trying to reduce it is an important part of our strategy, it links to the Hospice’s long-term resilience, its ability to survive and thrive and be here for those people in our community who need us.

In our shops, our suppliers of new goods are all SEDEX registered, ensuring we follow corporate social responsibility and sustainable sourcing guidelines. We have moved from paper forms to digital forms for Gift Aid when supporters donate furniture and for the past 4 years, our Christmas cards and packaging have been fully recyclable.

We can all play our part in helping the environment – lots of small actions together, at work and at home, can have a big effect. So, we were delighted to hear about Janet and her daughter Amy.

Janet is one of our amazing volunteers who helps in our Hospice coffee shop on Sundays. She recently she sent us a link to a heartwarming story published by Surrey Live about her daughter, Amy, who found her dream wedding dress at our Shepperton shop.

Janet emailed our volunteering team to say:

“I thought you would like to see the article written about my daughter Amy. We got her dress at the Princess Alice Hospice Shepperton shop and the ladies there were amazing. I volunteer in the coffee shop on Sundays and love every minute. My daughter got her dream dress, and we had a perfect day.”

You can read all about Amy’s story, which includes details of a special gift from her late grandad, here.

Our bridal wear department has now relocated to our refreshed Weybridge shop on the High Street, with a dedicated section to ensure the experience is one to remember for all would-be brides. The team would be delighted to help anybody looking for a beautiful dress for their own special day. Our Weybridge shop also stocks a stunning range of occasion wear, bridal shoes, accessories, outfits for Mother of the Bride, Bridesmaids and prom dresses.

We will never be able to thank the team at Princess Alice Hospice enough for the love, care, dignity, and compassion they showed our papa and our whole family. They cared for my papa for a month, and then welcomed him back again for his final 8 days before he passed on 3rd April 2026. Every single member of staff became like family to us during the hardest time of our lives. Their kindness, patience, support, and genuine compassion will stay in our hearts and minds forever. They not only cared for our papa with dignity and respect, but they also supported all of us emotionally every step of the way. We are so grateful for everything they did for our papa and for the comfort they brought him in his final days. Thank you again to the entire team for the incredible work you do every day. You are truly special people, and we will never forget you.

I'm deeply grateful for the exceptional care and support provided by Princess Alice Hospice in Esher. Their warm and helpful staff made a significant difference during a difficult time after losing my grandfather to prostate cancer in July 2017. The bereavement team and therapy offered were invaluable in helping me cope with the loss and navigate my grief. I'm thankful for their kindness and dedication. Massive shout out to Lynne my bereavement councillor who was incredible with me, I’ll never forget you.

My Mum was there for 3 weeks before she passed away in Nov . The staff and level of care was amazing, she was loved by the staff. They couldn't of done more for her. Myself and my sister were also supported. We donated a large memorial feather in our Mums memory. It's such a shame that most if their funding comes from donations.

The call out night service team of Princess Alice were amazing with my Granny in her last few days. She was able to stay in her own home and have their amazing team look after her when we called them. I would like to especially say a big thank you to Camilla who was always so cheerful, professional and put us at ease when we really needed it. She would remember our family members names despite being called out to a number of houses every evening and was always a reassuring voice when she answered the phone. She made a real difference to my Granny’s end of life and I wouldn’t have wanted her to be under any other care. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
