Retail

All Highland Hospice shops and cafes were closed on 23rd March 2020 in line with the Coronavirus lockdown. As Scotland progresses to phase 2 of the route map out of lockdown we hope to able to reopen our shops in a safe manner. Not all shops will open at once. We currently expect Beauly to open on 1st July, Dornoch on 7th July and Thurso on 14th July. Please check on our Highland Hospice Shops Facebook page for further updates.

Highland Hospice operates 13 shops across the region as a well as a central storage and distribution warehouse in Inverness where goods can be donated by the public. In addition our support group in Dingwall run the Bits and Pieces charity shop independently and donate all their proceeds to the Hospice.

Donations of quality clothing, bric-a-brac, jewellery and other items are always welcomed at our charity shops.

The majority of our shops stock a bit of everything and are a great place to find a bargain; a number are styled as boutiques stocking the very best items donated to us. Sometimes though even the best quality item doesn't find a buyer straight away and these are put on sale at discount prices in our shop in Alness.

In the Hospice itself you’ll find the 'by the river café' offering coffee, tea, cakes and light meals from 10am – 4pm Monday to Friday and 11am – 3pm on Saturday. By the River also offers a range of gift and Christmas items some of which are stocked in our shops and through our online shop.

Our 'in the city café' is in the Eastgate Centre and is operated in partnership with Cobbs. This cafe also offers a cafe style range of food and drink as well as a limited offer of gift and Christmas items in season.

When we are donated valuable or collectible items we often try and sell these through our Ebay Shop – take a look at what’s on offer now
