Hospice launches new range of branded gifts

16 November 2009

St Helena Hospice has just launched a new range of branded gift items that they are hoping people will purchase and give as Christmas presents this year. Items on sale include a beautiful and eye catching pink jute bag, mugs, t-towels, diaries, address books and pens. Items can be purchased from any of the eight Hospice shops located in Colchester, Dovercourt, Frinton, Halstead and Clacton.  There is also a wide range of Christmas cards on offer to suit all tastes.

In addition to this, St Helena Hospice is excited to be launching a new online shop where people can purchase all of these items as well as specially embroidered Hospice polo shirts and baseball caps. St Helena Hospice is for anyone who has been diagnosed with a life-limiting illness and all services are free of charge to patients and their families. The money raised through the online shop and sales of the new branded gifts in the shops will be used to support Hospice services and provide care for people throughout the community.

The Hospice's fundraising and marketing director Chris Hill said: “Our new range of branded gift items promise to provide a huge boost to our fundraising efforts and our online store will sit alongside our shops, giving people the choice of either shopping traditionally or via the web.

“We are really grateful to Red Tiger who are a Colchester-based branding, design and production agency as they have been working with us to develop the website and online shop and we believe that the final product is really easy to use and will help raise important funds for the Hospice for years to come.”
