The hospice is an independent charity that offers free care for adults with illnesses that cannot be cured, and support for their families and carers.

The hospice team supports more than 3,100 patients, family members and bereaved people each year in Worcestershire.

The hospice will cost around £12 million to run this year, which includes all patient care and support services.

The majority of the hospice's income is from voluntary support, including donations, gifts in wills, retail, and events, with the remainder funded by the NHS.

Dan Corns, commercial director at St Richard's, said: "We’re busy putting the final touches to our first menswear shop and can’t wait to welcome in customers next week.

"Not only will this new venture showcase the amazing menswear donated to St Richard’s, but it will provide a dedicated space for people who love to shop menswear – something we know our customers want.

"Whether you’re browsing for yourself or for a gift in the run-up to Christmas, shop with us for sustainable, second-hand style which helps hospice care."

The shop will open Monday to Saturday, 10am to 5pm and will be open until the end of January.

The money raised by the shop will be used to help the hospice continue to fund free care to people across Worcestershire with illnesses that cannot be cured, as well as provide support for their families.

The hospice is asking people to donate good quality, saleable menswear to the shop.

Items can be taken in a bag labelled 'menswear pop-up shop' to any St Richard’s shop or warehouse during opening hours.

The hospice is also looking for people to volunteer in the shop doing jobs such as customer service, preparing donations for sale, and serving on the till.
