St Leonard’s Hospice opened a brand new shop at 20 Colliergate on Friday 31st January 2020.

The shop at 20 Colliergate was previously a branch of betting shop William Hill and, before that, an Azendi jewellery store.
The charity already has a popular store a short walk away on Fossgate – as well as branches in Acomb, Fulford, Easingwold, Haxby, Layerthorpe, Scarcroft Road, Sherburn, Pocklington, and Selby.
St Leonard’s Hospice marks its 35th anniversary this year as Helen Moreton, retail manager, explains: “This is our 15th premises and the Hospice’s 35 years of operation. The Hospice officially opened in 1985, and the first-ever charity shop opened on Friday 21st June 1991 in part of the old Regent Cinema in Acomb.
