Turn your spring clean into support for your local hospice

Spring is the perfect time for a fresh start. As you open the windows, clear out the cupboards and refresh your home, please consider giving your pre-loved items a new purpose by donating them to your local Princess Alice Hospice shop.

Your spring clean could help provide compassionate care for people with life-limiting illnesses and vital support for families across our local communities.

By making space at home, you’ll be making a real difference to your local community, too.

Spring cleaning often reveals clothes you no longer wear, books you’ve already read, or homeware that’s been tucked away in cupboards and no longer needed. Donating them to your local high street shop helps turn them into essential funds for hospice care and is truly appreciated.

Income raised in our shops directly supports our services, including:

Pain and symptom management for patients
Specialist nursing care in homes and the community
Bereavement support for those who have lost a loved one

Every item sold helps ensure we can continue providing compassionate care, free of charge, to people when they need it most.

We’re always grateful for good-quality donations, including:

Clothing, shoes, and accessories
Books, CDs, and DVDs
Homeware, decorative items and furniture

Please note: Not all of our shops accept furniture, you can arrange a furniture collection here.

If it’s in good condition and someone else could enjoy it, there’s a good chance it could help raise vital funds for hospice care. Find out more.

A more sustainable spring clean

Donating your pre-loved items doesn’t just support local hospice care, it’s also a great way to reduce waste and help protect the environment.

By giving items a new lease of life through our charity shops, you’re helping to keep good-quality goods in use for longer and supporting more sustainable shopping habits in your community.

How to donate your spring clean items

Once you’ve filled a bag or two during your spring clear-out, simply bring your donations to your nearest Princess Alice Hospice shop during opening hours. Our friendly shop teams and volunteers will be delighted to receive them and ensure they are put to good use.

If you’re a UK tax payer please remember to fill in a Gift Aid form to ensure we can claim back 25%. It doesn’t cost you anything, but it could make a huge difference to us.

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.
