Give your pre-loved items a new purpose and support local hospice care

Every item you donate to a Princess Alice Hospice charity shop helps create something truly special: compassionate care for people with life-limiting illnesses and support for their families across our local community.

From a much-loved jacket to a book you’ve already enjoyed, your pre-loved items can go on to make a lasting difference. By donating to our charity shops, you’re not only giving your items a second life, you’re helping us continue to provide expert, free hospice care to those who need it most.

How your donations make a difference

Our charity shops play a vital role in funding Princess Alice Hospice. The income raised helps us deliver specialist medical care, wellbeing support, and practical help to patients and families, both at the Hospice and in their own homes.

Every donated item sold contributes directly to:

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

Quite simply, your donations help us be there when it matters most.

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.

So grateful for everything they did for dad and us. Just want to say a big thank you and keep up with all the hard work you all do.

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.
