Pilgrims Hospices brings fashionability to Tankerton with exciting new charity shop
Pilgrims Hospices is thrilled to announce the grand opening of its brand new charity shop, NWT@Tankerton (New With Tags), located at 106 Tankerton Road, Tankerton, Whitstable CT5 2AJ.
This innovative store, opening its doors at 10:00am on Thursday 5 December 2024, offers a unique twist on charity shopping – every single item in the store is unworn and comes with its original retailer tags.
This is more than just a shopping destination; it’s a haven for fashion lovers who value quality, sustainability and a good bargain. Shoppers can expect to find a dazzling range of items, from high street favourites to luxurious high-end brands, all at a fraction of the price.
“We’re so excited to welcome shoppers to NWT@Tankerton,” said Karen Hills, Shop Manager. “It’s a unique concept that brings incredible value to our customers while supporting the vital work of Pilgrims Hospices. Whether you’re looking for a show-stopping party outfit, a thoughtful gift, or a wardrobe refresh, NWT@Tankerton has something for everyone.”
What makes NWT@Tankerton special?
This pioneering store is the first of its kind in the UK, dedicated exclusively to new, tagged items. Pilgrims Hospices receives thousands of these high-quality garments annually, generously donated by supporters. Now, for the first time, these gems will be available year-round in one convenient location.
This sustainable shopping model is perfect for eco-conscious shoppers who want to reduce textile waste while still indulging in retail therapy.
