ELLENOR CHARITY SHOPS SET TO DOUBLE PRESENCE ACROSS KENT AND BEXLEY, PAVING THE WAY FOR ENHANCED HOSPICE CARE

ellenor’s Director of Operations Liam Stone manages the hospice charity’s day-to-day operations.

His remit? IT, health and safety, the construction of ellenor’s new Wellbeing Centre …and its 10 shops throughout Kent and Bexley.

At the moment, ellenor has retail presences in Bexley, Blackfen, Crayford, Gravesend, Northfleet, Swanscombe, and Welling, plus three locations in Dartford – on the High Street, at The Priory Shopping Centre, and in Darent Valley Hospital.

If there’s not an ellenor shop near where you live, though, don’t worry – chances are there will be soon.

That’s because, Liam explains, ellenor plans to open three shops each year, for the next three years: a strategic expansion which, by 2027, will almost double the amount of shops the hospice charity has on the high street today.

Amazing huge thanks to our sponsor

£6000 rollover WINNER!

See what Chiara Nicholls from Tonbridge says about winning!

''I was ecstatic when I received the phonecall from Andrew Grahn of ellenor Hospice, telling me that Id won the £6000 lottery rollover prize! I told my wife about it and we were both ecstatic.
I signed up to play the ellenor lottery, after hearing Graham Perolls talk at our church, Bessells Green Baptist church, about the hospices of hope and ellenor Hospice, which really inspired me. I sined up to support ellenor Hospice and never expected to win a prize.
I’ve never won any form of a cash prize ever, so this win was very surprising and couldn’t come at a better time, as myself and my wife need to repair our bathroom, and this will help.
We have decided to donate some of the winnings back to ellenor Hospice, to say thank you
I will keep supporting ellenor Hospice, as they do amazing work supporting people''.
