The Mary Stevens Hospice

💭Did you know…? The Mary Stevens Hospice is not fully government funded. We rely on the generosity of our incredible community to help fund our care. We proudly operate 13 shops throughout the surrounding area, each offering a diverse selection of high-quality items, including clothing, books, DVDs, CDs, jewellery, collectables, games, furniture, and white goods. ☕Alternatively, you can visit our bespoke Book Shop - savour a pot of tea or indulge in a delicious cappuccino, conveniently located within our Stourbridge High Street outlet. Here, you can enjoy a view of the bustling high street while taking advantage of our free WiFi. Our shops are a key source of fundraising for hospice care and they help us to generate income we crucially need to run our services.

#MakeaDifferenceMonday Our friends at Sandvik in Halesowen have literally put their best foot forward to fundraise on our behalf.🚶 They were challenged to walk the equivalent steps between their Halesowen office and the Head Office in Sweden. Collectively, those taking part walked an astounding 19,418,292 steps – smashing the target they had set. 🏆 Aside from the fundraising, staff reported an uplift in their health and their emotional well-being, so this is a massive winner in our books. We were thrilled to be invited recently to the Halesowen office to receive a cheque for £1,000 being the monies raised by Sandvik and, as a treat, to serve the staff ice cream from our Trike! We spoke to the team about how the money they have raised will be used at the Hospice, and we loved hearing about individual achievements, notably the 1,454,713 steps walked by Milana. Thank you to everyone that took part, and we look forward to finding out what challenge you have in store next!
