A hospice wedding
“The staff helped my mother
with a posy of flowers and
makeup, flowers for the bride,
and took family photos.”
“The support and care my mother
Mary received from Cranford was
of the highest standard and made
a very difficult time easier for my
mother and us. My daughter’s wed-
ding was just days after my mother
passed away, but the initiative and
thoughtfulness of the staff meant
that my mother saw her in her
wedding dress at the hospice, which
gave my mother some joy and was
very special for all of us.

Turning second-hand goods
into first-class care
If you had driven past our Hastings sec-
ond-hand store late last year, you would be
forgiven for not knowing what was inside.
Our old signage was removed and import-
ant changes to the frontage were made in
preparation for a bold refresh. Our staff and
volunteers are thrilled to share that our new
outside signage is now up!
All three stores now have the updated orange
branding on our signage; with new stock com-
ing onto the floor daily we invite you to come
check out the unique pieces and bargains.
