On Wednesday 2nd April, over 2,000 people visited Oakhaven Hospice’s new Home & Cra charity shop in Lymington - and the store smashed all previous sales records for Oakhaven’s High Street shops! An excited queue stretched down the length of St omas Street of locals and visitors to Lymington eager to be amongst the rst to set foot in Oakhaven’s new charity shop - and eager to meet BBC TV’s ‘Teddy Bear Ladies’ and Southampton footballing legend Matt Le Tissier! At 10am, Oakhaven’s Chief Executive Andrew Ryde, thanked everyone involved with the new charity shop before handing over to e Repair Shop’s Julie Tatchell and Amanda Middleditch to cut the ribbon and open the Home & Cra Shop. e new shop attracted many locals and also many visitors to the area, who declared they would be bringing friends and relatives to Lymington very soon. Gary Taylor, Oakhaven’s Head of Retail, said: “We would like to thank everyone who came to support us on the day and everyone involved in the twoyear preparation of this long-anticipated new shop, including our landlord and everyone who has donated items for us to sell. It was a long road, but what a day! highly anticipated since the closure two years ago of the charity’s ‘pop-up’ cra shop. Oakhaven Hospice’s ninth charity shop joins the Furniture, Children’s, Fashion and Designer Fashion Shops in Lymington, along with those in Totton, New Milton and two shops in Hythe. Each is an Aladdin’s cave lled with real treasures and the ultimate in recycling and sustainable shopping. e Home & Cra shop stocks a wide range of haberdashery, fabrics, cra ing materials, children’s cra s, books and games, as well as kitchenware, dining ware, electrical goods and other homeware. e new shop is highly accessible, with a ramp leading into the shop and space between aisles for mobility. Amanda Middleditch of e Teddy Bear Ladies, said: “It’s great to have somewhere like this where you can come and swap crafting materials. You can bring your things in and then take on something new. I think it’s a really good way of encouraging particularly young people to start crafting because it’s a bit more affordable, or they can pick up something someone’s already started but they haven’t finished and maybe have a go and not feel they’ve spent a fortune if they don’t like it.” Andrew Ryde, Chief Executive, said: “As a charity, only 11% of Oakhaven’s costs are covered by the NHS. Our shops provide an important income stream for the charity, and we are delighted by the warm welcome that has been given to our new Home & Craft Shop. Thank you to everyone who donates items for us to A special thanks to all the amazing team of staff and volunteers who have helped with the shop, thank you for your loyalty, resilience and incredible hard work. One thing that I have learned about crafters is that they are resourceful - if you need to solve a problem, seek out a crafter! We’re delighted that the new shop’s turnover on Wednesday was over ten times higher than an average day, smashing all previous daily records ever held in any of our High Street shops!” e Lymington Home & Cra Shop, at 27a St omas Street, has been The Teddy Bear Ladies, Matt Le Tissier and the Lymington Mayor cut the ribbon to open the new shop Continued on page 5
