Donate to Shops

We welcome donations to our St Elizabeth Hospice, Zest & St Elizabeth East Coast Hospice shops.

All donations will help us to fundraise the £12 million it takes to run St Elizabeth Hospice services.

Please note, some shops can reach donation capacity so it is always worth calling before donating to avoid disappointment.
