Pilgrims Hospices unveils NWT@Tankerton
Pilgrims Hospices is excited to announce the opening of its innovative new shop, NWT@Tankerton, on 5 December 2024, at 106 Tankerton Road, Tankerton, Whitstable, CT5 2AJ.
This unique concept store will exclusively feature a curated selection of brand-new, unworn garments, all donated by generous supporters with their original retailer tags attached. It offers fashion lovers an opportunity to discover high-quality clothing at unbeatable prices while supporting a vital cause. It is important to note that all the clothing on offer is donated, and has not been bought in to sell!
A new approach to charity shopping
Each year, Pilgrims Hospices receives thousands of items with original retailer tags still intact, ranging from stylish dresses to practical outerwear. Traditionally, these items have been sold at special events across various stores, but now, for the first time, they will be available permanently under one roof. NWT@Tankerton is set to be the first charity shop in the UK to exclusively offer unworn, tagged items, making it a go-to destination for shoppers seeking great deals on brand-new fashion while contributing to an environmentally sustainable initiative.
A festive shopping destination
With the festive season fast approaching, the timing couldn’t be better for this exciting launch. The store will feature a fantastic selection of items perfect for Christmas parties, gift-giving, and everyday wear for the whole family. From dazzling evening attire to cozy winter essentials, the wide range caters to men, women, and children, making it a one-stop shop for all.
Shop Manager Karen Hill shared her enthusiasm ahead of the opening: “We can’t wait to welcome customers to Pilgrims NWT@Tankerton. This is a fantastic chance for the community to support a great cause while enjoying an exceptional shopping experience. We’ve carefully curated a fabulous selection of items, perfect for the festive season and beyond.
