North London Hospice opens 20th charity shop in Camden

The shop, located at 9 Parkway in Camden, marks an expansion of the hospice’s care and fundraising presence in the community. 

The opening comes as North London Hospice extends its free services to residents in Camden and Islington. The shop will help raise vital funds for specialist end-of-life care. 

The hospice currently serves Barnet, Enfield, and Haringey and is now extending support to nearby boroughs.

Camden mayor Cllr Eddie Hanson, who cut the ribbon at the launch, said: "I’m a huge supporter of North London Hospice and the incredible work it has been doing since 1984. I would like to thank the volunteers, staff, trustees, and executive team for their dedication, as well as the generous donors whose continued support makes this vital work possible."

Camden store manager Daniela Singh said: "We’re delighted to open our 20th shop here in Camden – this is truly an exciting milestone for us. This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication of our fantastic team who have been working hard to open new stores this year to help fund our free hospice care for North London residents."

The new store offers pre-loved fashion, books, and homewares, and aims to become a welcoming part of the neighbourhood.
