Weston Hospicecare covers a large area; we serve the communities of Clevedon, Cheddar, Axbridge, Highbridge and Burnham-on-Sea as well. We’re exceptionally proud of our two Burnham stores; our High Street store opened in October 2017, and our College Street store operates as a £1 shop. Both stores do amazing work at bringing in revenue for the hospice; unwanted goods are donated, sold in the stores and the money raised then enables us to continue offering our services for free, to those affected by life-limiting illnesses.

We couldn’t do any of this without our retail volunteers. A dedicated, fun, and lively team, our volunteers give their time for free to help Weston Hospicecare stores continue to operate. But volunteering isn’t just a one-way street; volunteers learn valuable new skills, meet new people, and have fun.

Sue Picken is manager of the Burnham £1 shop in College Street, which is holding volunteer recruitment days from February 8th-10th. Sue’s current team of volunteers are invaluable to her, but she’s also looking to add to the group ahead of the town’s busy Summer season.

“Volunteering is the role that gives back,” Sue says. “You get to meet new people, and learn new skills, which is useful if you’re looking to get back into employment. It’s a flexible opportunity too; whatever time you can spare is of use to us. You really do get to make a difference to the lives of others.

I love my team; we talk about anything and everything, and have lots of fun. Working in a £1 is fast-paced, which helps you to gain confidence quickly. There’s nothing you can do that can’t be put right, so people shouldn’t be afraid of coming along and giving it a try. Maybe your kids have left home now, gone to uni or got married, and you have spare time on your hands. Maybe you’ve recently retired and you’r missing that work place environment.”

If you think you’d like to offer some time to either of our Burnham stores, call into the High Street shop from Feb 5th-7th (inclusive) or College Street from 8th-10th (inclusive) for a chat, and maybe some cake! We’d love to meet you!

    Gift Aid It!Add 25% more to your donation at no cost to you. A Gift Aid declaration allows Weston Hospicecare to claim tax back on eligible donations. It means that for every £1 you donate to Weston Hospicecare we can claim back 25p from the government.

    Tell me more »

    By ticking the "Yes" box, I agree I would like Weston Hospicecare to reclaim the tax on all qualifying donations I have made, as well as any future donations, until I notify them otherwise. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year I may be asked to pay any difference. I understand that Weston Hospicecare will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.

    What is Gift Aid?

    Gift Aid does not cost you a penny more, but can add an additional 25p to every £1 you donate. When Weston Hospicecare receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, we're entitled to claim an amount of tax (calculated at the basic rate of income tax in that year) paid on that donation. Once you have given your permission for us to do this on your behalf, there is no need for you to do anything else.

    All that is required is that you must be a taxpayer and that would have paid or will pay sufficient Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover all the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year. Please note that it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

    The amount of tax we claim will be 25% of the total value of your donations in that tax year. Furthermore, if you are a higher taxpayer, you are also entitled to claim the difference between the basic rate which we will claim and the amount of tax you have actually paid. For further details on how you can do this, please contact your tax office. If your tax situation changes and your gifts will no longer be eligible for the Gift Aid scheme please contact us and we will amend your record accordingly.
