High Sheriff opens charity’s House Clearance Shop in Highcliffe

Attended by lots of locals, members of the Lewis-Manning staff team and formally opened by the newly declared High Sheriff of Dorset, Anthony Woodhouse, the retail House Clearance Shop in Highcliffe at 288 Lymington Road, is now open.

There was a real buzz at the opening event as shoppers took the opportunity to look around the shop which was packed with sustainable bargains.

The hospice’s ninth store has opened due to the ever-growing demand for its house clearance services, sustainable goods, as well as the increased need to raise funds for its vital charity services.

Director of Retail, Susan Newcombe, said: “It’s been a fantastic morning. We are really pleased to have secured such a prominent location in this busy part of Highcliffe, with its reputation for being a second-hand searcher’s dream location.

“It’s a great opportunity to let shoppers know about our house clearance and recycling services and how we turn preloved items into extraordinary hospice care for people with life-limiting illnesses and their loved ones across Poole, Purbeck, East Dorset and West Hampshire.

“We’d like to thank the many businesses who have supported us in preparing for our opening, with special mention to Goadsby’s, Frettens Solicitors, Bradlea Builders, MBE Martin Barker Electrical Ltd, and Shadow Design (Print & Signage).”
