Let me tell you a little about the work Havens Hospices do for people of all ages. They provide specialist care and support for people who are living with incurable conditions and their families across Essex and East London. With 29 charity shops across Essex and East London serving communities who would normally not be able to afford the things donated by good-hearted people.

I have first visited one of their charity shops on 3rd of January 2025 on my visit to the stunning town of Leigh-on-sea, Essex, England. I fell in love with the shop at first sight. I treated myself to a beautiful hand made vintage hand bag, vintage jumper and vintage scarf without spending fortunes on designer clothing. And the feeling I had, that I also supported a great cause, is something words cannot express enough.
